Q: Should the tuner remain on at all times if the power cord is hooked to a 12-volt switch during installation, even when the truck is off?
A: No, the tuner does not need to remain on at all times. Wiring it to a switched 12-volt source means it will power on and off with your vehicle’s ignition. This is the recommended setup as it prevents unnecessary battery drain and ensures the tuner is only active when the vehicle is in use.
Q: After installing the tune, I have no cruise control, and the boost gauge always reads zero. How can I fix this?
A: The boost gauge reading zero on LML Duramax models is a known issue with the Mini Maxx V2. Regarding cruise control, if it stops working after installation and returns to normal upon uninstalling the device, it suggests a conflict between the tuner and your vehicle’s cruise control system. Check for any software updates for the Mini Maxx V2 that may address this or consult technical support for vehicle-specific advice.
Q: What should I do if the tuner says it’s in engine recovery mode during installation?
A: Engine Recovery Mode usually indicates a failed tuning process. This can happen due to voltage drops or interruptions during flashing. Only the same tuner that initiated the tuning process can resolve recovery mode on the same truck. Try reinstalling the tune using the same device. This should revert the truck to stock and allow you to attempt the tuning process again. If the tuner cannot get the truck out of recovery mode, and the vehicle won’t start, you may need to have the vehicle flashed back to stock by a dealership.
Q: Will installing a Fleece CP3 conversion and having a DEF delete already done cause issues with tuner installation?
A: Having a DEF delete already performed might cause issues because the intended installation sequence is typically to flash the tuner first and then install emission delete components. A service message or DTCs might occur. The Fleece CP3 conversion itself should be compatible as long as it does not require custom tuning beyond what the Mini Maxx V2 provides. Monitor for any error codes or unusual behavior after installation and consult support if needed.
Q: After using the tuner to increase horsepower, my HVAC controls on the dash stopped working. Is there a fix?
A: HVAC control issues are not commonly reported with Mini Maxx V2 installations. Ensure that the tuner is correctly wired and not interfering with other electronic accessories. Try updating the Mini Maxx V2 to the latest firmware. If the problem persists, the device may be defective and require replacement.

Q: I’m getting a P2457 exhaust gas recirculation coolant performance issue fault. What is the corrective action?
A: The P2457 code is not commonly encountered. First, try disconnecting the vehicle batteries for about 10 minutes, then reconnect them. If the code returns, it’s likely that the EGR temperature sensor is still plugged in, which should be disconnected when using the Mini Maxx V2 for emissions-deleted setups. Ensure all emission-related sensors that are meant to be disconnected are indeed unplugged.
Q: After installing the h&s mini maxx tuner, bank 1 injectors are not working, and I get codes P1291 and P060A. What should I do?
A: Codes P1291 and P060A, especially injector issues appearing immediately after tuner installation, suggest a potential incompatibility between the tuner and your vehicle’s software. If returning to the stock tune resolves these codes, it indicates the Mini Maxx V2 may not be compatible with your specific vehicle software or OS. Further investigation or a different tuning solution may be needed.
Q: Everything seems to work, but I’m not getting readouts for RPM and boost. Do I need the unlock cable connected at all times?
A: No, the unlock cable is only needed for initial programming on certain RAM models and not for continuous operation or gauge readouts. Missing RPM and boost readouts are unusual. Reinstall the device, ensuring all cable connections, especially at the OBDII port, are secure and functioning correctly. If the issue persists, there might be a problem with the OBDII connection or the tuner’s data reading capability.
Q: Will the tune delete the 2-crank ventilation sensor? I keep getting a check engine light and codes P04DB and P0868 after installation.
A: The Mini Maxx device does not support Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) deletes, only CCV reroutes. Codes P04DB and P0868 indicate other issues; P0868 is related to low transmission fluid pressure, which is a serious concern and should be investigated immediately. The check engine light and these codes are not related to CCV sensor deletion by the tuner, as it does not perform this function. Address the P0868 code urgently and consult a mechanic for the transmission issue.

A: Interference with vehicle electronics like Bluetooth, compass, radio, and heated seats is unusual and suggests potential electronic interference from the Mini Maxx V2. The heated seats and steering wheel issues might be due to the vehicle trim level, as the Mini Maxx V2 may not fully support all electronic accessories in certain trims. However, broader interference issues could indicate a faulty Mini Maxx V2 module. Contact support to investigate if your unit is causing electronic interference.
Q: The tuner reads 241 percent throttle constantly and won’t shut off. Is this normal?
A: A constant 241 percent throttle reading is normal and is due to the throttle valve being unplugged, as is required for emissions-deleted setups. The tuner remaining on until unplugged suggests it might not be wired correctly to a switched ignition source. Double-check your fuse tap and wiring to ensure it’s connected to a key-on fuse and that the adapter switch is set to ‘KEY’.
Q: During initial setup, I chose “return to stock” instead of “shift on the fly.” Can I change this to access the tunes now that I’ve done a complete delete?
A: Yes, you can change this setting. You can go back into the tuner menu and select the Shift-On-The-Fly (SOTF) option to access and apply the performance tunes. Navigate through the menu to find the tuning setup options and change your selection to SOTF to enable tune selection.
Q: What are the differences between the Mini Maxx V1 and V2?
A: The V2 is the newer model, released in 2022, while the V1 is discontinued. Key differences include:
- Emissions Support: V2 does not support emissions systems; emission removal is required. V1 had some support but was often used for deletes as well.
- Vehicle Compatibility: V2 supports later model years (up to 2019 Ford, 2021 RAM, 2016 Duramax), expanding compatibility.
- Features: V2 does not support custom tuning, overdrive transmission tuning, or all special functions of the V1.
- Part Numbers: V1 = 109003, V2 = 209003.
The V2 is designed as a more streamlined, delete-focused tuner for newer vehicles within its compatibility range.
Q: Why didn’t my tuner ask about emissions removal during setup?
A: The h&s mini maxx V2 is designed for emissions-deleted vehicles and does not support emissions systems. Therefore, it does not prompt about emissions equipment during setup because it assumes that emissions components will be removed or are already removed when using this tuner.
Q: Do I need to remove my emissions when running the h&s mini maxx V2?
A: Yes, emissions removal is mandatory when using the h&s mini maxx V2. The DPF, DEF, and SCR sections of your exhaust system must be removed, and sensors in these pipes should be disconnected (ideally left in the exhaust and disconnected upon removal). The EGR system can be left installed but must be disconnected. The throttle valve also needs to be unplugged or removed for proper operation with the Mini Maxx V2.
Q: How do I use the security bypass cable on my 2018+ RAM?

Q: Can I use the update for the V2 on a V1 tuner?
A: No, do not use the h&s mini maxx V2 update on an h&s mini maxx V1. Doing so will render your V1 tuner inoperable. Updates are not cross-compatible between V1 and V2 models. There are no official updates available for the discontinued h&s mini maxx V1.
Q: Does the Mini Maxx need to stay plugged in after I tune my truck?
A: No, the Mini Maxx tuner does not need to remain plugged in after tuning your truck. Once the tune is installed, you can unplug the device. If removed, the tune will remain active, but the power level will default to the “no power” setting after a few drive cycles. The delete tuning will remain in effect, but you will effectively be running at the base tune level.
Q: Where should I wire the fuse tap?
A: Wire the fuse tap to a fuse location in your vehicle’s fuse box that provides switched ignition power. This means the fuse should receive 12V power when the key is in the ON position and 0V when the key is OFF. Use a circuit tester to identify such a fuse in your fuse box.
Q: Why does my tuner display “warm-up mode”?
A: “Warm-up mode” is a feature designed to limit engine power until the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature. This is controlled by refueling parameters within the tune. You can adjust these settings in the tuner menu under [Menu>Vehicle Setup>Defueling] to customize how warm-up mode behaves.
Q: While installing with shift-on-the-fly, all tunes feel like stock. There’s no difference between stock, tow, performance, and extreme. Why?
A: Ensure that there is no grease or water on the radio Data Link Interface (DLI) connector, which could cause electronic glitches. Clean the radio DLI connector thoroughly. If the issue persists, the device may be causing electronic interference with your vehicle’s radio or ECU communication. Also, ensure you are correctly selecting and loading different tune levels through the tuner’s menu as simply selecting SOTF during setup does not automatically switch between tunes.
Q: The tuner display sometimes changes color from blue to red. What causes this?
A: The color change from blue to red is a known display glitch. It is a cosmetic issue with the display and does not affect the tuner’s functionality. The device itself is operating correctly, even if the display color inverts or flips unexpectedly.
Q: My tuner was working, but now the screen is black and just beeps. What’s wrong?
A: A black screen with continuous beeping usually indicates a hardware malfunction or loose connection. First, try replacing the HDMI cable and check all cable connections to ensure nothing is loose or disconnected. If the issue persists after checking connections and cables, the device may have an internal hardware failure and might require replacement.
Q: After updating, it shows “VIN mismatch,” software version 2.0.0.1, and I can’t update further. What does this mean?
A: A “VIN mismatch” error suggests that the tuner is locked to a different vehicle’s VIN. This can occur if you are trying to install the tuner on a vehicle different from the one it was initially installed and VIN-locked to. To resolve this, the tuner needs to be fully uninstalled from the original vehicle it was locked to before it can be used on a different one—though Mini Maxx V2 is generally VIN-locked and not intended for transfer between vehicles.
Q: I checked power levels and noticed no change. The tuner reads my truck as a 2001, but it’s a 2017. What’s the solution?
A: The “2001” year display might be a cosmetic display error, as long as the tuner is correctly VIN-locked to your actual vehicle. For power level changes not being noticeable and incorrect year display, ensure you are correctly changing tune levels through the menu: Menu > Install Download > Pick Tune Level to Load. For 2017 Fords and similar models without SOTF, power level changes are applied by re-flashing with a different tune level, not by real-time switching. Regarding update issues, the updater may not recognize the SD card if it’s not named “MINI MAXX.” Ensure the SD card is named exactly “MINI MAXX” for the updater to recognize it.
