What does this mean? “Uninstalling the Tune” and “Returning to Stock” are different ways to describe the same thing: writing the original (stock) information to the engine computer so it uses the settings that it used before you installed your GT Platinum. Doing this also sends a signal to the GT Platinum to let it know that it is no longer installed on a vehicle, which will allow you to install the tune at a later time.
40417 GT PLATINUM How to Return to Stock There are two ways to return your vehicle to stock. IMPORTANT NOTE: Both methods are very similar to installing the tune to your vehicle, so you should make the same preparations and take the same precautions. This means choosing a good time and place, making sure the battery is charged, pulling fuses (if necessary), disconnecting aftermarket electronics, etc.
What if I Don’t Return to Stock? Here are some common examples: • If you take your vehicle in for service, they will “flash” the engine computer. Even if you ask them not to, any dealer or shop will do this automatically – it is standard procedure for any vehicle they see and they really can’t help themselves from following this ingrained habit. What they are doing is actually writing an updated file over any information that is currently saved in your engine computer.
