Alan, I used to use TL, and looking at my manual I see no 'prop step' flag.... where is it showing this? in the 'vehicle status' box? Sure it isn't P/S switch? If it's a TT 5.6 chip, it may be displaying a memory location in the chip he 'tweaked' to insert the variable codes for timing/fuel adjustment... makes sense... as in, 'property' (variable) and 'step' (value)...
