Had a Predator. Have HPTuners. Wouldn't ever go back. There is a learning curve but the extra money is well worth it.

My opinion.

To answer your question it will show and clear DTC codes but
you can't disable the rear o2's, egr, etc..which is what I believe you are asking? The only way to do it with a handheld, like a Predator, would be in conjunction with custom tuning.

The latest Predators can permanently turn off AIR, EGR and rear 02 codes.

Yep, the Predator can do all of that as long as it has the newest firmware in it.

I am using it on my Formula and it does almost everything you would need it to do plus Diablo is working on a laptop tuning suite to work in junction with the Predator.

I apologize. I have an older unit and have not kept up with the latest.
That's pretty nice they have added those features.

when you use any of the preset tunes, this stuff is automatically done. you cannot independantly do it.

Incorrect answer...

The Diablo Predator as long as the unit has received the new firmware update or it is a new unit can delete the codes individually.

if i was talking about the diablosport, then yes, i would've been incorrect. but, if you'll take a closer look, i said the vinci tuner does it with the preset tunes. so, in that respect, i am correct.
