Troubleshooting

What To Do Before Taking The Vehicle In For Service

Return The Vehicle To The Stock Programming
When the vehicle is taken to a dealership or repair shop for any service, the vehicle’s computer must be returned to the original stock calibrations, before taking the vehicle for service. To do this, follow the Back To Stock instructions in Section 2. This allows the original factory calibrations to be transferred from their stored location in the programmer and reinstalled into the vehicle’s computer. This process returns the computer to factory stock and resets the programmer to allow the user to reprogram the vehicle AFTER repairs or service.

Why Is It Necessary To Return To The Stock Tuning?
The reason that this should be done is that the factory diagnostic equipment will only recognize factory calibration information. If that information is not stored, it will automatically update the vehicle’s computer to the original calibrations or to the most recent updated version, erasing the optimized tuning and other adjustable features that were installed by the programmer.

Reprogramming The Vehicle After Service Or Repair
After the vehicle has been serviced or repaired, you may retune your vehicle. If the factory has reprogrammed the vehicle with a calibration that is new and not recognized by the programmer, the programmer will display a “Update Required” message. If this occurs, the user will be instructed on how to update the programmer. This is a safety feature of the programmer.   We do not want to rewrite any information if it is different from the calibrations currently stored in the vehicle. Following the instructions will allow the vehicle to have the latest and most current performance calibration that will match the updated factory version. Call the tech service line that appears on the screen for instructions on how to update the programmer. Due to the factory update of the computer, the programmer will have to be upgraded to match the new calibrations that have been installed in the vehicle’s computer. There is no charge for calibration updates.

Troubleshooting Guide

Vehicle Not Supported
The following message is displayed when the programmer does not recognize the vehicle, along with an error code. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR PROGRAMMING; CALL HYPERTECH AT 800.532.3351. Verify that the vehicle year/make/model/engine shows to be supported with the programmer part number. The part number is located on the label on the back of the programmer, and on the end of the box. If the vehicle is supported, the programmer may need to be updated to the latest revision to work on your vehicle. See Section 4 for instructions on how to update your programmer.

Loss Of Communication
The following message will appear if the programmer is unable to communicate with the vehicle’s computer. AN ERROR OCCURRED DURING VEHICLE PROGRAMMING; CALL HYPERTECH   AT 800.532.3351.

Follow the steps below to correct the issue.

1. Make sure that the ignition key is in the ‘Run’ position and that the engine is not running.
2. Make sure that both ends of the cable are securely attached.
3. Wait at least five (5) minutes for the programmer to re-establish communication before restarting the programming process.
4. If the three (3) steps above do not correct the problem, call the Hypertech tech service line at the phone number that appears on the programmer screen. Cable Removed While Programming

The programmer will lose power during programming if the cable is removed for any reason. If this happens, simply reconnect the cable, and follow the messages on the programmer.

Attempting To Program A Different Vehicle
VIN mismatch will appear if attempting to program the computer in another vehicle without first programming the last vehicle it was used on back to stock. Return the previous vehicle back to stock,  following the Back To Stock procedure in Section 2.

Update Required
There are several instances where an update may be required to use the programmer. The following codes require an update. The programmer will display a message that it needs to be updated. The programmer can be updated via the internet using the Hypertech Tuner   Update Software, and the supplied USB cable. See Section 4 (next page) for instructions on how to update your programmer.

Blank Screen
If the programmer does not power up, make sure that both ends of the cable are fully inserted. If the programmer still does not turn on, check for a blown fuse in the vehicle fuse panel for either the cigarette lighter or the accessory circuit. Replace with the proper amperage fuse.
