Default Odd Superchips 3815 Issue

OK, here it is if I can explain it right. When my truck is programmed with the 3815 to the 87 Tune, only other adjustment is speed limiter and tire size, I get a check engine light, the code is 420, which is a bad O2 sensor. The CEL comes on after about half a tank. I cleared the CEL and set back to stock to get ready to take to the shop. Now 2 tanks later no CEL. I have gotten the light three times when the truck is programmed. Any ideas? I want the CEL on so I can get the O2 sensor replaced under warranty.

Hmmm lets see. Programmer on, CEL on. No programmer, no CEL. Might this be a programmer malfunction.

Since the economy tune might be leaning things out, that may be the diffence in the exhaust, tripping your O2 sensor.
