Stock Programming

The first time you tune your vehicle with the Cortex tuner, your factory stock setting is saved into 
the tuner.  Once your vehicle has been performance tuned you may return it back to its factory 
stock settings at any point.

1.  Select Tune Vehicle  
   Press OK 
    

 

 

2.  Select Quick Tune or Advanced Tune  
   Press OK 

3.  Select Stock  
   Press OK  

4.  Follow on-screen prompts.  

5.  Switch Ignition ON/OFF as requested 
   (Do not start engine)

Service Centers and Your Vehicle

Before taking your vehicle to a service center, return the vehicle to its stock program.  The 
service center might reprogram your vehicle with an updated stock program without your 
knowledge.  If you did not use Cortex to return your vehicle to its factory setting and your vehicle 
is reprogrammed by the service center, the Cortex tuner will no longer be able to program your 
vehicle.  

Such a situation is not covered by the Superchips Inc. warranty.
