However, Superchips strongly recommends you always disconnect and remove your
module/programmer and monitor when you take your vehicle to a dealer for warranty
work. In addition, leaving the product connected may affect dealer diagnostic analysis and
scan tool functions. Superchips makes every effort to produce product that can be easily
removed.
• NOTE: Even if you disconnect your device, your dealer can detect the use of any
programmer—even if the device has been removed.
SERVICE CENTER AND COMPATIBILITY CAUTIONS
• CAUTION: RETURN YOUR VEHICLE TO STOCK BEFORE TAKING IT TO A SER-
VICE CENTER. All Superchips modules and programmers are built to operate with OEM
calibrations. If you take your vehicle to a service center they may, by your request or
otherwise, update your vehicle’s calibrations. If this happens and your vehicle has not
been returned to stock your device will no longer be capable of programming your vehicle.
Superchips updates its active products (i.e. those currently being manufactured) to work
effectively with updated OEM calibrations. However, this process can take some time as
Superchips is not always made aware of calibration changes made by the OEM. In the
case of discontinued products, Superchips cannot ensure that your unit will work effective-
ly if you take your vehicle to a dealership and you are given, by your request or otherwise,
a new calibration.
• CAUTION: If you have used another tuner/programmer on your vehicle, you will
need to program the vehicle back to stock and remove the device before using this
product. Failure to return to stock may result in PCM failure or engine damage. Pro-
gramming your vehicle may expose existing defects in the vehicle’s PCM that could
disable your vehicle. It is advised that you do not program your vehicle in remote
locations in case of vehicle failure.
• CAUTION: The SCR programmer was developed on stock vehicles with no after-
market bolt-on parts; as such, the performance changes implemented by the SCR
may not be compatible with certain aftermarket power add-ons. See below for a
brief explanation of how the SCR tuning may be affected by certain aftermarket
devices.
COLD AIR INTAKE (CAI) KITS
There are currently a large number of CAI kits on the market. These kits are designed to
improve air fl ow and temperature. Some of these kits may be compatible with the SCR
programmer; however others may cause a lean condition when used in conjunction with
the SCR tuning.
MECHANICAL MODIFICATIONS
Mechanical modifi cations such as headers, upgraded camshafts, displacement changes,
cylinder head improvements etc. will change the airfl ow characteristics of an internal com-
bustion engine. This may cause the tuning to be incompatible with the SCR tuning.
FORCED INDUCTION (TURBOCHARGERS OR SUPERCHARGERS)
Turbochargers and Superchargers drastically change the dynamics/performance of the
engine, and its fueling/timing needs. Additional hard parts and custom tuning are required
to run a forced induction system on an engine that was originally designed as a Naturally
Aspirated (NA) engine.
