IMPORTANT

• The Power Programmer for 1996-2000 GM trucks and SUVs is legal

for sale or use on 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 14. 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 ONLYtime 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 offUNLESS

instructed by the programmer.

*DO NOT start the engine.

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 sarrow 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.

SECTION 1: ONSTAR EQUIPPED VEHICLES

If your GM vehicle is equipped with the OnStar system, you

MUST temporarily disable the system BEFORE programming

your vehicle with the Power Programmer III. Please follow the

steps below to temporarily disable the OnStar system.

General Precautions

Many new vehicles are equipped with daytime running lights,

or sensors that turn the headlights on in dim situations automatically

when the ignition is on. For the purposes of programming the

vehicle, this presents an unnecessary extra drain on the vehicle

battery. Many new vehicles have a procedure for turning off

the lights. Often this is accomplished by setting the parking

brake on the vehicle. We recommend that the headlights be off

when programming your vehicle, for added safety against corrupt

programming due to battery failure. See your owner’s manual for

vehicle specific information regarding your headlights.

Recommended Precautions

The GM OnStar system periodically communicates with the

vehicle. This periodic communication with the vehicle has been

known to disrupt the programming process. In order to

prevent

disruption of the programming process, it is recommended

that

the OnStar system be disabled while programming the vehicle.

When the OnStar system is successfully disabled, its indicator

light on the dash or rearview mirror will be OFF. Be sure that

this light is off when the key is in the ON position (engine not

running) BEFORE programming the vehicle. This will ensure

that there are no OnStar related problems.

Recovery From OnStar-Related Power Programmer Hang-up

If the programmer stops programming

for an extended period

of time, perform the following steps to recover and/or continue

programming:

** Do Not Turn The Ignition Key Off**

1. Disconnect the programmer from the vehicle.

2. Reconnect the programmer to the vehicle.

3. Press the START button on the programmer.

The programmer will resume communications with the vehicle

where it left off. If the programmer fails to re-establish communi-

cations with the vehicle, repeat the procedure. If the programmer

still fails to resume, disconnect the programmer and turn the

vehicle off. Attempt to start your vehicle. If your vehicle fails to

start, the vehicle computer may have been corrupted, and you will

need to send your vehicle computer and programmer to

Hypertech for repair.If the vehicle starts, you will need to return

your programmer to Hypertech for re-initialization. No harm will

have been done to the vehicle computer.

Disabling OnStar in 5.7/7.4L vehicles

1. See Figures A & B. To access the

OnStar system, you first have to

remove the glove compartment.

To do this, open the glove

compartment and remove the

glove compartment support strap.

Once the support strap is removed,

pull in and down on the glove

compartment and remove it from the

dash of the

vehicle. Place the glove

compartment

aside and out of the way.

2. See Figures C & D. Locate the

OnStar plug inside the glove

compartment area that will need to be

disconnected to temporarily disable

the OnStar system. The plug is located

behind a silver-colored box. Look for

the large plug behind the silver box

that is partially wrapped in a grey

foam with black tape around it.

Once the proper plug is found,

can be moved out of it’s original

location and unplugged. Make sure

that the OnStar indicator

light

on the dash or rearview mirror

is OFF.

Be sure the light is off

when the key is

in the ON position

(engine not running)

BEFORE programming the vehicle.

What To Do Before Taking Your Vehicle In For Service

If you take your vehicle to a dealer or mechanic for service,

you must first remove the Hypertech Power Tuning and restore

the stock programming. This is because diagnostic devices

expect to find stock calibrations and will often overwrite the

program if the latest calibration is not found in the computer

memory. This will result in the loss of your Hypertech Power

Tuning data. The Hypertech Power Programmer has an internal

security system that allows its Power Tuning program to be

installed in only one vehicle at a time. In order to maintain

the most current stock calibrations for your vehicle, the Power

Programmer is designed to allow you to restore the stock tuning

before you take your vehicle in for service so that the service

technician can upgrade your stock calibrations. After the service

is complete, you can reinstall your Hypertech Power Tuning.

If you have any questions related to service issues, please call

Hypertech at 901-382-8888.
