Default torque app and tuning

Basically I've noticed something, if I scan for codes with my sct x3 I see nothing bit if I scan for codes with the torque app on my android I come back with 5 "grey" codes, network communication codes, such as body control module, 4x4 contol ect. I can clear them and sure enough if I unplug the 4x4 tccm I can make one of them come back.

Main point, when I flash the truck with a tune these show up, and they will not clear on their own. And the tuner doesn't even show them to clear them. Tattletails....

Maybe I'll have to get an android when I decide on a tuner.

I don't get these with my torque app. I don't think it makes a difference but the bluetooth OBD2 reader I have is the OBDlink MX.

I can show you, no codes...flash it...codes.

I think it comes from how they unlock the ecm, where everything turns off and comes back when its done.

Wow you may have just stumbled onto something here. However, when I scanned mine which is tuned it does not show any codes. Which tuner are you using?
