The issue was not a bad ground.

The issue was that I was arming the kill switch too fast, like the code for the CEL states that the computer lost power too soon (the car needs time after shutting it off to log data)

so the fix for this is just to not arm the kill switch immediately after leaving the car, After leaving the car and locking it, give I will give it roughly 10 seconds before turning on the kill switch. And this keeps the car from keeping on throwing a CEL at you.

while the CEL doesn’t really harm the car as far as I noticed, just kinda annoying. I’d keep an obd2 reader on hand just to clear the light quickly if it ever appears (like if you accidentally turned the kill switch on too soon)

I also keep an obd2 blocker on my port so it would be kinda annoying to have to keep taking it off to reset the light so finding this out that I needed to give it a wait time was helpful. Just doing as much as I can to keep the car from getting stolen since I’ll be moving to Cali soon and hearing too many nightmares story’s of Type R’s getting stolen. Might just start taking my battery with me everywhere I go.

if you have more questions reach out, I’ll do my best to help.

I keep getting the same exact CEL. I’ll try waiting a few seconds next time and report back within the next hour or so. Thinking I might switch to the wired setup if it doesn’t work.

Update : had the same hunch last night. Waiting a good 2 minutes before clicking off on the remote. Car fired right up with no CEL.
