Default Pedal Commander vs Soler P2138 code

Hey all:
I have the Pedal Commander on my 2023 for a yr with no issues, but now it pops the P2138 code and goes into limp mode.
Clearing the code, and restarting, once shifting to D or R, pops it again instantly.
Removing it, everything stays normal.
Would going with a new Pedal Commander or Soler throttle controller have any better effect?
The Pedal Commander I have is about 5 yrs old, and I have used it on 3 of my C7's again with no issues.
Just not sure if going to the Soler would be a better choice and not have the error...
(both on order... haha)

3 years with the Soler Controller and zero problems. Not saying something couldn't happen down the road but so far so good.

I've had the Pedal Commander for 2 years and haven't had any problems whatsoever. I don't know for sure if they are interchangeable w/C7's or not but my guess is that you need to update your Pedal Commander. If it is interchangeable, there's probably something wrong with it. A new one should fix the problem.

Perhaps your older Pedal Commander is outdated and has had some changes / updates made to be more compatible with the C8?

I have the latest version of Soler Throttle Controller installed on my '23 C8 and have had no problems whatsoever...

Does the code go away if you disconnect the Pedal Commander? I'd make sure the PC is the problem before spending money on anything else.

I've had my Soler for close to a year with zero issues.

Yes. No codes after I disconnected it.
I guess the only way to fine out is to install the Soler or a new version of the Pedal Commander.
Ordered the Soler, so I'll post the results in a few days

Ellis- I had a similar issue. I had a PC in my C7 and Camaro. When I got the C8 last year same exact thing happened to me. I don't remember the code but I do remember it constantly going into limp mode, etc. Car was brand new and I wasn't having it. Now that some time has passed I feel a TC should be in my future to compliment the ported intake, tb, exhaust, etc. Update us in about a week. If all is well I might have to make the jump as well. BTW am I crazy or weren't these damn things like $100 back in the day LOL

Will do teddy...
Lets give it a week...
From my research it seems the Pedal Commander and the C8 don't agree with each other after about a yr or so.
Haven't seen anything on the Soler TC throwing codes on the C8, thats why I went with it instead of another Pedal Commander...
We'll see....
