Any of these actions will interrupt the programming process.
The programmer is designed to recover from these conditions,
but they should be avoided.
HYPERTECH POWER PROGRAMMER III
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW
Congratulations! You are the owner of the Power Programmer III,
the latest in high-performance tuning technology. Now you can optimize
your engine’s tuning, as well as adjust other vehicle parameters
(see table of contents), all at the touch of a button.
Your vehicle has an onboard computer that controls the engine
and transmission. Inside your vehicle’s computer is a FLASH
memory chip which contains the vehicle’s programming. The
programmer actually reprograms this FLASH computer chip,
according to your specifications, with Hypertech’s Power Tuning.
This is the only way an individual can reprogram some 1994-1995
and all 1996 and newer vehicles sold in the United States.
To reprogram your vehicle’s computer, simply plug the
programmer cable into the vehicle’s diagnostic connector
located under the dash panel on the driver’s side. Set the parking
brake. Next, turn the ignition key to RUN but do not start the
engine. Press the
▲
arrow on the programmer. It will then identify
your vehicle and display a series of options on its screen. When
completed, turn the key to OFF and disconnect the cable from the
diagnostic connector. Now you’re ready to
Feel the Power!
Hypertech’s Power Tuning can be stored in only one (1)
vehicle at a time. The Power Programmer can be reconnected
to remove the Power Tuning and return the vehicle to the factory
programming at any time. After you have performed this step,
your vehicle will be in its stock configuration.
You may also reconnect your programmer at any time to change
the programming. For example, if you have replaced your factory
tires with different diameter tires, you will want to correct your
speedometer, odometer, and automatic transmission shift points.
Simply reconnect your programmer, answer the necessary option(s),
and reprogram your vehicle. You do not have to return to stock first.
