Default PCV Question??

If I don't get the autotune module and add the PCV to my 2011 RKC are the stock O2 sensors no longer used?? Will this cause coding problems with ECM??

It will register a code regarding the 02 sensors but not any problems,it doesn't make the light come on it merely shows a historic code.

I am going thru some issues with the dealer blaming a high idle on the 02's unplugged on a 11 RG. I attempted to tell them.........

If you were to plug the O2 sensors in with a PCV what issues would this cause.

If you plug in the O2 sensors while using the PC-V the ECM would essentially untune any changed the PC-V makes to the mixture while in closed loop.

Jamie, Thanks.

With the o2 sensors in , all the errors went away. There were more codes than just the 3 historical sensor codes. Unplug, them and the bike went nuts with DTC's.

I have decided to yank pull the PCV and 2-1 V&H, stick some Supertrap slipons on and keep it all harley until the warranty is over.. I can't afford to have a bike down.

Thanks for the knowledge and great customer service.
