DFM disabler released

[KMeloney]

There’s another disabler aside from the Range unit? Huh. Didn’t know that.

Have a link to it?

So I ordered one of these Range units for my 2021 Yukon 5.3. I also ordered a Auto Stop Eliminator harness because I didn't realize that the Range module also disables Auto Start-Stop as well.

That being said, I contacted ASE to return my module, and they informed me that the Range unit keeps the trucks run in diagnostic mode, and when the truck is in diagnostic mode, the check engine light is suppressed. So if you ever had a problem, you wouldn't know...because the CEL doesn't come on. Any truth to this?

ASE is also saying that the Range unit has parasitic drain on the battery that is 1000x more than their unit. Which could lead to a dead battery situation if the vehicle sits for extended periods of time.

Not trying to start a beef between Range and ASE, but just wondering if there's some truth to this.

The range unit for 2021+ vehicles has been out for what like what, a month now. They (a competitor) sure seem to know a lot about a product that has only been out for a very short time.

Range said early beta units were drawing the battery down a bit when sitting over time. I never had an issue (daily driver) but they sent a revised version. Believe that was fixed before they released them for purchase.

As for the CEL being bypassed, can’t say for sure, but I can’t imagine that’s true.
