A. Reconnect the battery.
B. Connect the supplied cable to the 9-pin connector
at the top of the hand-held unit. If present, use
the thumbscrews to secure the cable to the
connector.
C. Connect the other end to your ALDL connector
located under the dash near the steering column.
Make sure this connection is seated all the way
in and that it is secure. You do not want this cable
coming out of the connector during programming.
D. Turn the ignition key to the "on" or "run" position
but do not start the vehicle.
E. To begin programming your vehicle, you may
either press the YES button or the A button. If
you press the YES button on the hand-held unit,
this will download the Superchips performance
program already stored in the hand-held unit. If
you press "A", you can alter some predefined
options to suit your needs. These options are not
permanently stored in the hand-held unit. When
power is removed from the unit, the changes you
made will be lost.
F. You only need to press the YES button once to
start the programming cycle. The programming
process takes 1 minute and 15 seconds to
complete.
G. The hand-held unit will inform you that the
programming process has completed and to turn
the ignition off and disconnect the cable. Only at
this time should the ignition be turned off and the
cable removed.
H. Programming is now completed. Start the vehicle
to ensure proper operation.
