    Hydroboost brake upgrade - tune IPC / message center?

    I have a 2003 suburban I installed the hydroboost brake system on and now I get a SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER in the message center (not dtc/ses) due to the lack of a vacuum reading since the new system doesn't use it.

    Can I delete the message with HP tuners? Do I need to access the IPC instrument panel cluster/ can I do that with HP tuners?

    Any help is appreciated...

    from what i know the code is ipc so hp tuners cannot delete it

    here is what the sevice manual says

    "SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER
    The SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER message will be displayed when the supplemental brake assist signal circuit is toggled at 1.0 Hz with a 50 percent duty cycle. This message is also displayed if the instrument panel cluster (IPC) does not see an alive and well signal at key on. When this message is displayed it indicates a problem with the SBA and should be serviced or replaced."

    the wires on the plug going into the sensor are different for vaccum vs hydroboost

    this is a complicated issue and if the truck came w/ a opt jl4 you have all kinds of extra problems

    as is it would require rewiring and select module reprograming
