IMPORTANT
• The Power Programmer for 1999-2005 4.3/4.8/5.3/6.0/8.1L GM trucks
and SUVs is legal for 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, particularly in the
high-performance segment, are required to obtain CARB approval in
the form of executive Orders (E.O.s) for any product not qualifying as a
direct replacement for an original equipment part.
Hypertech includes
meeting all E.O. requirements in its product development process.
This guarantees that users of Hypertech “Power Tuning” products will
meet certification requirements when registering, selling, or needing
to pass various emissions tests or Inspection and Maintenance
(I&M) programs administered by state or local enforcement
agencies.
Make sure that any emissions-related product you buy and
install carries an E.O. number or is pending an E.O.
Without this
verification you are at risk, in potential violation of regulations
and may incur unnecessary financial obligations during vehicle
inspections or emissions tests.
A CARB E.O. sticker is supplied. Keep
this sticker in your vehicle or attach it inside the door jam as proof that
the Power Programmer is street legal.
• Your vehicle’s computer will not be programmed at the end of the
programming menus until you select “PRESS ‘Y’ TO BEGIN
PROGRAMMING”, on page 18. Feel free to experiment with the
programming choices without the fear of accidentally programming
the wrong information into your vehicle’s computer. You can make any
choice that you want and change it again and again, without program-
ming it into your vehicle’s computer, until you are absolutely ready.
• While the programmer is programming:
* DO NOT leave the vehicle while programming is in process.
* DO NOT program your vehicle without a fully charged battery.
If after you have programmed your vehicle’s computer with the
Hypertech Power Programmer and you decide to change the
tuning, It is recommended that you recharge your vehicle’s
battery. You may either drive the vehicle to charge the battery
or use a battery charger. But either way, MAKE sure that the
battery holds a full charge.
* DO NOT disturb the cable while programming.
* The ONLY time you may remove the programmer cable from
the DLC safely is PRIOR to pressing ‘Y’ to program your
entries. However, any programming choices you have made
WILL NOT be saved.
NOTE: It is NOT safe to unplug the
programmer cable any time AFTER you have pressed ‘Y’ to
program.
* DO NOT turn the key off UNLESS
instructed by the programmer.
* DO NOT start the engine.
