Default CAGS defeat installed, no shift light

I just installed a CAGS eliminater from Ecklers. Simple installation and it works fine. But I am puzzled. Instructions specifically say that it will not eliminate the 1-4 shift light and I did not expect it to. But in trying it out the light only comes on about 1 in 8 times. In addition to regular shifts I am deliberately shifting in a manner that should bring the light on but it usually nothing. Not that I object but I did not expect it. Anyone else with this experience.

It's a fairly narrow window where the light comes on including a narrow rev band. I'll bet if you keep an eye on it you will notice it every so often. Particularly in slow traffic.

Mine came on just as it did before I installed CAGS eliminator. When I did my LS1-Edit, I had them turn the light off completely.
