This programmer is legal for sale or use on California pollution-

controlled motor vehicles according

to the CARB Executive Order

process. In the interest of improved air quality, the California

Air Resources Board (CARB) requires new vehicle and

manufacturers of aftermarket parts to develop engine and

emissions equipment that either reduce or maintain specific

air pollutants affected by vehicle use. Both the California Vehicle

Code (section 27156) and Federal Clean Air Act (administered by

the Environmental Protection

Agency) prohibit modifications

that

increase vehicle emissions. Aftermarket parts manufacturers,

Some adjustable features listed on the following pages are

NOT applicable for all applications. The year, make, and

model of the vehicle will determine the feature set. During

the installation, only the available adjustable features for that

particular application will appear on the programmer screen.

Once the programming cable has been connected to the vehicle’s diagnostic port and to the programmer, DO NOT remove or disturb the cable during the ENTIRE programming process. Only remove the cable from the diagnostic port when the installation is complete. DO NOT leave the vehicle during programming. The programmer screen will display instructions for you to follow i.e.

If no DTCs are found, the programmer will then go to Engine Tuning. If any DTCs are found, this screen will now appear: “X” DTCS REPORTED “X” represents the number of DTCs found in the vehicle. This screen will now appear: VIEW DTCS = Y CLEAR DTCS = N Press ‘Y’ to view the DTC(s) found in the vehicle. Press ‘N’ to clear the DTC(s) without viewing them.
PAGE 5
Press ‘Y’ for the programmer to clear the DTC(s). These screens will now appear: CLEARING DTCS ALL DTCS HAVE BEEN CLEARED The programmer has now successfully cleared the DTC(s) found in the vehicle computer. This screen will now appear: TO ENTER PROGRAMMER MODE, PRESS Y TO EXIT PROGRAM, PRESS N For each option, press the ‘Y’ button to make a change. Press the ‘N’ button to make no change and proceed to the next option. For some options, use the s and t arrows to point to a particular selection.
PAGE 6
Use the s and t arrows to increase or decrease the engine rev limiter. The rev limiter can be increased or decreased in 100 RPM increments. Press ‘Y’ to select the desired value. USE UP/DOWN ARROWS TO ADJUST ENGINE REV LIMITER, THEN PRESS Y TO SELECT OR N TO EXIT. _ _ _ _RPM IMPORTANT NOTE If changes are made to the rev limiter, the shift points must also be adjusted accordingly (See chart below). Not doing so may result in damage to the engine or powertrain.
PAGE 7
IMPORTANT NOTE Changes to top-speed limiter is not recommended for load rated tires. Serious damage or injuries could occur. Also, for safety reasons, the actual top-speed limit set in the vehicle is two (2) miles-per-hour less than the selected tire’s speed rating. TIRE SIZE IF TIRE HEIGHT HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM ORIGINAL, PRESS Y IF TIRE HEIGHT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED, PRESS N Press ‘Y’ if the tires installed have an overall height that is different than the original factory tire size.
PAGE 8
REAR GEAR RATIO IF REAR AXLE RATIO HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM ORIGINAL, PRESS Y IF REAR AXLE RATIO HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED, PRESS N Press ‘Y’ if the installed rear gear has a ratio that is different than the original factory gear. This feature will recalibrate the speedometer/odometer readings and part-throttle shifting for automatic transmissions for the new gear ratio. This screen will now appear: USE UP/DOWN ARROWS TO SELECT CORRECT REAR AXLE RATIO, THEN PRESS Y TO SELECT OR N TO EXIT. _ _ _ – –_.

REPORT This screen will now show all the selections that have been made: YOU HAVE CHOSEN .......... Watch the selections scroll by on the screen. If all the selections are correct, press ‘Y’ to start programming the vehicle. If changes need to be made to any of the selection(s), press the ‘N’ button to start over from the beginning.

For gas applications, CHECK FOR DETONATION. Whether engine tuning for premium (the highest octane rating available in your area) or regular octane engine tuning has been used, check for detonation. This is a “pinging” sound heard during heavy acceleration. Make sure the correct octane of gasoline is being used for the engine tuning that is installed. If any “pinging” is heard, back off the throttle and call the provided tech service line.

CABLE REMOVED WHILE PROGRAMMING The programmer will lose power during programming if the cable is removed for any reason. If this happens, simply reconnect the cable. The programmer will identify the vehicle and then display these screens: PROGRAMMING WAS INTERRUPTED... PROGRAMMING WILL CONTINUE NOW The programmer will then continue programming from where it was interrupted.
PAGE 13
SOMEONE REPROGRAMS YOUR COMPUTER If a service facility reprograms the vehicle’s computer with an update, the optimized engine tuning and performance features changed with the programmer will be erased. However, all that needs to be done is to reconnect the programmer as shown in Section 1. If the new vehicle computer calibration is identified by the programmer, the options in Section 1 will be shown.
PAGE 14
update the vehicle’s computer to the original calibrations or to the most recent updated version, erasing the optimized tuning and other adjustable features that were installed by the programmer. Reprogramming The Vehicle After Service Or Repair. After the vehicle has been serviced or repaired, you may retune your vehicle. If the factory has reprogrammed the vehicle with a calibration that is new and not recognized by the programmer, the programmer will display a “Code 6D - Cal Not Found”.
