Almost guaranty that it's not softronic tune and more likely your spark plugs, or an O2 sensor. Those are usually the culprits.
But yeah - first step is get the error code.

That's what i did and the light came back 200 miles later.... i think the guys are right i need to change the spark plugs

I went with NGK. No issues so far......

Much easier to change these with the exhaust off.
