    2018 ZL1- how do I turn off catalyst light off on cold starts?

    I removed the cats and disabled COT, but I hate the sound of cold starts while the Cats are warming up. The combination of my exhaust and no cats makes it crazy loud. How do I disable the cat light off?

    Go to Engine, General, Catalyst.
    Raise the enable to 490 fahrenheit and disable to - 140 fahrenheit.

    Then, go to Engine diagnostics, Exhaust, Disable catalyst test.

    I don't have that option in mine. Under engine and general there is only engine displacement options and that's it.

    The only exhaust tab I have is under Engine Diag. There I have the Catalyst Test (which I can disable) but don't have anything else. I assume this is to disable the actual OBD testing of the cats, but not the initial warm up(light off). Correct?

    Where would that be?

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    So I found it. I had to search for it in the parameter navigator and it's in a hidden folder called exhaust. This folder doesn't appear anywhere else for some reason. Really strange. Thanks all.

    you are probably using Basic view. Change your setting to Advanced

    He is right, it's not listed under the regular exhaust tab even in advanced view.

    If you look in the navigator there is an exhaust folder there that has it. Both the regular and beta version on my computer show it there. My beta is the latest as of today, so 4.4.4X.

    Nope, I've tried both basic and advance. I can only see the Exhaust folder in the Parameter Navigator. Wired stuff.

    Worked like a charm though.

    bumping this up. Looks like this parameter is now totally removed from the latest versions.

    Has anyone found a work around for the parameters not being available anymore?

    You can try an older version, but some of the older versions won't open newer cars. Just have to try your luck. There is no work around other that what I've suggested.
