There is a process to clear the codes. If you read the instructions, I think it mentions clearing the codes, either before or after hooking up the fingerstick. I can't recall off the top of my head. Do you have a tuner or a code reader? Use that and try it. If not, unplug the ECM for about 10 minutes, then plug it back in and restart the vehicle and see if that takes care of it.

A finger stick has nothing to do with the 101 you will get when you go cat delete.

How does it set a code when you remove the cat? Reduction in back pressure/low egr flow? Why does the finger stick not cure that? I am not understanding something? Have a good day, and thanks.

Couple quick notes here:

1) The Finger Stick for LBZ requires a blocked EGR in order to operate properly.

2) The Blocker pkg is designed to combat the P0401 and P0404 codes. While it can impact the P0101 it is not designed to directly combat this code. The P0101 comes up frequently with aftermarket intakes and on some trucks it just plain comes up stock for no apparent reason.
