If the MAX MicroTuner has not yet been used to program a vehicle, no vehicle ID will be stored
in the MAX MicroTuner. In such a case, the MAX MicroTuner will begin saving the STOCK
program for the vehicle. If a vehicle ID has been previously stored in the MAX MicroTuner, and
if the vehicle ID matches the vehicle ID stored in the MicroTuner, the MAX MicroTuner will go
directly to the
Return to Stock Sequence
at Step 8 that follows
.
4. Saving the Original STOCK Program for the Vehicle
The manufacturer’s original STOCK program is first saved in the MAX MicroTuner to allow
the vehicle to be reprogrammed to STOCK condition if necessary. The STOCK program will
be automatically saved the first time the vehicle is programmed and after each time it has
been returned to stock. After communications have been established with the vehicle the
MAX MicroTuner will beep and start saving the STOCK program. This will take about three
minutes. The MAX MicroTuner will blink the message:
SAVING STOCK
The bottom line of the displays shows the progress of programming.
When completed, the MAX MicroTuner will display the message:
Stock Saved!!!
Press ‘>’
Upon completion of saving the STOCK program, the MAX MicroTuner checks to see if the
vehicle ID saved with the STOCK program can be found in the internal database. If the
vehicle ID is found, the MAX MicroTuner begins the process of
Installing the Superchips
Performance
Program at Step 5. If the saved vehicle ID is not found in the database, the
MAX MicroTuner will sequentially display the messages:
Tuner Requires
An Update…
Error Num 41
Call Superchips!
Unplug the MAX MicroTuner from the vehicle and contact Superchips. The MAX
MicroTuner may still be used as a Diagnostic Trouble Code Reader.
