Trouble Shooting
When I plug in my programmer into my vehicle, it does not power up.
Solution: The programmer plugs into your vehicle diagnostic connector that is usually
powered through a fuse – the fuse may be blown.
• Ford and GM diagnostic connector usually shares power with the cigarette lighter fuse.
• Dodge diagnostic connector usually shares power with the radio and instrument
cluster (under the hood fuse).
Check the fuse and replace if blown. Otherwise, try the programmer on another vehicle to
make sure it powers up. If it does, then the wiring on the vehicle you are trying to program
may be the issue (See your dealer for service).
My vehicle has been programmed by another tuning product and now my Scorcher
programmer doesn’t work.
Solution: A Scorcher programmer checks to make sure your vehicle is 100% factory
stock before programming. If your vehicle has been programmed by another tuning
product, you will have to return your vehicle to factory stock before attempting to use
our programmer.
My programmer displays status G-6F.
Solution: The error code is a ‘General Database Error’. It means your programmer does
not have a complete database. Updating your programmer online using Scorcher Easy
Update software will fi x this.
