Wierd Check Engine
Well it's been a bit since i posted... Tonight in the bay area (which is pretty cold right now) I was driving home..Turned the heater on (its 43 degrees at the time) and just drove easy (not hard at all)..... and about 3/4 the way home I notice the Check Engine light came on......Mmm i thought...So when i got home plug in my iphone which has that wireless code reader software and hookup... and pulled these codes
p2800
p00F4
P0800-Transfer Case Control System (Only code that had info on what it was)
P00D8
I looked up all of those codes up in google... I wasn't able to find anything about it....What im thinking is I have the PTE Thermostat Mod... So i thinking the engine didn't get warm enough after a while and threw a code because of that...but im not sure....
What are yalls thoughts.. any ideas on the rest of the codes...? I hardly drive the 32...Usally 1 time out of the weekend. It is well modded but never had a check engine before...Maintenance and everything is up to date. Sits in the garage pissed off since im driving the e320

Well thanks for the no Help Guys , Well after doing a bunch of test, and research, I found out, all these codes triped because the car could not warm up... haha. As its was 42 degrees out that night, I usally let it warm for 1 min before even moving, and get it half way before any heavy driving... But wasn't on it at all the entire trip home. I had the heater on as well... so 3/4 the way on the trip computer decided the engine temp hasn't changed (was at maybe 55C). So word of warning yall with the PTE Mod and its Cold out..... Dont run the heater for a bit until car is fully warmed

do you have the 160 tstat? my 180 tstat never throws codes and i have below freezing temps. running the heater should help warm the coolant up as well

The heater sucks the heat out, thus making it colder. Like if your car is ever overheating, you're supposed to turn the heater on high and it drops the temperature.

I got a CEL a few times after installing the 180* tstat from Patrick but after a few times it stopped. The ECU must have adopted because it is even colder now then when I installed it. I also have separated the cooling system and activated the 10* fan change. However, your codes look foreign to me.
