These "dirty" signals are seen across the DME, TCU and other various modules causing them to react to situations that did not actually exist, or in some cases reduce the performance to err on the side of caution until the fault codes are cleared.

Probably not as easy as it sounds but just make the exhaust valves open 24/7!!!!
