Your Vehicle’s STOCK Program
The MAX MicroTuner stores a copy of your vehicle’s original stock computer program. Your
vehicle 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 a performance
enhancing chip installed, it must be removed.

returned to its STOCK program prior to service, the Superchips MAX MicroTuner will no
longer be able to program your vehicle. Such a failure is not covered by the Superchips
warranty.

Vehicle Preparation – Very Important!
Before connecting the MAX MicroTuner to your vehicle remove any accessories plugged
into the cigarette lighter or accessory power ports. If an aftermarket audio system with
amps is present, power to the amps must be turned off. Radio, day time running lights and
interior lights, cell phones, etc. all need to be turned off as the MAX MicroTuner needs full
battery voltage to program. Ensure your vehicle battery is fully charged and not connected
to a battery charger. Do not leave the MAX MicroTuner connected and unattended for any
length of time to prevent unnecessary battery drain. Do not remove the programming cable
during any programming sequence.
