Your Vehicle’s STOCK Program

The FLASHPAQ Tuner stores a copy of your vehicle’s original stock computer program.

To begin, your vehicle’s computer must contain the manufacturer’s STOCK factory program. If you have used a programmer from another aftermarket company you must use their product to return your computer back to STOCK condition before proceeding. If you have an aftermarket performance-enhancing electronic device installed, it must be removed prior to using the

Superchips FLASHPAQ Tuner.

About Maximum Trailer Weight

The original manufacturer of your vehicle has specified a Maximum Trailer Weight for your vehicle. It may be found in your vehicle owner’s manual.

This Superchips product is designed to increase your engine power and performance. It does not change the engine, suspension or drive train characteristics that limit the maximum trailer weight your vehicle is designed to tow. Towing trailer weights above the maximum trailer weight specified by the vehicle manufacturer may cause transmission or other damage.

If you wish to tow greater than the maximum trailer weight for your vehicle, modifications to your vehicle may need to be made. Consult your performance auto mechanic for the proper vehicle modifications.

Damage caused by towing weights greater than the maximum trailer weight specified for your vehicle shall not be the responsibility of Superchips Inc.

Important Note Regarding Storage of Your

FlashPaq

Tuner

It is not recommended to store your FlashPaq Tuner in your vehicle in extreme heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold (temperatures near or below freezing). These conditions can cause malfunction or damage to the FlashPaq Tuner not covered by the Superchips Inc. warranty.

Your Vehicle and Service Centers

If you need to return your vehicle to a service center, restore the vehicle’s program to its STOCK program. The service center might reprogram your vehicle with an updated STOCK program without your knowledge. If your vehicle has not been returned to its STOCK program prior to service, the Superchips FLASHPAQ Tuner will no longer be able to program your vehicle. Such a failure is not covered by the Superchips Inc. warranty.

Vehicle Preparation

Before connecting the FLASHPAQ Tuner to your vehicle, make sure that:

All power-draining accessories are turned off, including radio, lights, cell phones, etc., The

FLASHPAQ Tuner needs full battery voltage to program your vehicle.

Ensure your vehicle battery is fully charged and not connected to a battery charger.

Do not leave the FLASHPAQ Tuner connected and unattended for any length of time.

This prevents unnecessary battery drain.

Do not remove the programming cable during any programming sequence.

Please follow the FLASHPAQ Tuner display screens.

Frequently Asked Questions

A. Measuring my tire in order to adjust my “Tire Size” setting.

Solution: Measure your “Tire Size” vertically, and place a ruler or a flat level item on the top of your tire in order to measure accurately. Measure your vehicle’s Tire in inches and round up to the nearest quarter of an inch. Note: “Tire Size” includes tire and rim.

See the picture below as an example of how to measure your specific vehicle’s tire.

Top of Tire

Ground Level

B. Blank Display Screen when plugged into vehicle

Solution: Your diagnostic port may share power with the Cigar Lighter fuse. Please check the owner manual & replace if bad.

If a blown fuse is not found, check the pin connectors in your vehicle diagnostic connector.

Make sure that none of these pins have been pushed out of the connector body.

(Note: Typically not all pins are present in this connector)

If still no resolution, plug your tuner into another supported vehicle. If the tuner powers up, your vehicle has something wrong with either the pins/wiring harness or there is still a blown fuse in that circuit of the vehicle.

If your Tuner fails to power up on a second supported vehicle, call Superchips Customer

Service at 407-585-7000 to ask for a Return Authorization (RA) to send the Tuner in for inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

M. The Tuner did not program same number of files as saved

This is normal. The Tuner communicates with all the necessary modules on the vehicle to gain the information needed to correctly operate. It may be necessary to save additional files that are not programmed to allow for correct tuning.

N. My friend’s truck has the same engine but programs or reads at different speeds.

Each vehicle configuration has been optimized to the fastest and safest method of operation.

Your friend’s truck may have different types of vehicle computers in his truck which may require more or less time to do certain operations.

O. Why do similar vehicle types have different numbers of files?

Even similar vehicles can have different configurations and quantities of computers. The Tuner communicates with all the necessary computer modules in the vehicle to gain the information needed to operate correctly.

Recovery Procedure

In the event of a status message during a programming sequence, the Tuner will attempt to recover the vehicle to the original stock program. It is necessary to carefully follow the screen prompts, possibly requiring multiple “Ignition OFF” and “Ignition ON” sequences, to correctly return the vehicle to stock settings.

Status Notification

When recovery is completed your vehicle is returned to factory stock. You are now able to start your vehicle normally. You may now attempt to use the Tuner to program your vehicle again or to program another vehicle (the tuner is now reset and not locked to a vehicle).

Follow the on-screen prompts. In the event that recovery is unsuccessful, or for any reason the Tuner fails to complete its programming cycle, a Status message will be displayed on the unit. Please make note of the message displayed and contact Superchips Customer

Service.
