2016 3.5 pressure valve?

My new 2016 is in the shop for the drivetrain malfunction. I thought the error might be related to the Dinan install, but the dealership says no, it is a pressure valve on the engine that shows to be bad. SA indicated these were new with 2015 and onward engines. Error was thrown on every drive, and oddly more spirited driving greatly delayed the error. Replacment part is here Monday.

Anyone else experience this?

Whatever the part that was supposed to fix the problem did not. Now the dealership is pointing at the Dinan install. Checking with Dinan to get a new / replacement wiring harness or at least get their help in trouble shooting the issue.

Dinan is FUBAR. Supposedly something to do with the harness receiving interference from the engine. Dinan has a prototype harness but no indication on timing other than soon.

Still getting this sorted, but don't think this impacts earlier models than 2015. When it doesn't throw the drive-train malfunction error and in sport mode, the vehicle is pretty amazing, very nice acceleration. Waiting to hear back from Dinan on a resolution. Everyone is pointing to the Dinan harness as the issue. From my conversations with their tech support, this impacts around 10% of the installs.
