Flashing File To Vehicle

1) Make sure you have are running the latest stable release of VCM Suite from the HP Tuners website

NOTE: If using an RTD device, download and install the software HERE and complete all reading/flashing using that software instead of VCM Suite.

2) Connect your HP Tuners interface to the vehicle and your laptop via USB
Open VCM Editor, and select File > Open
Navigate to where your tune file is saved, select the tune file, and click Open

GM push button: press and hold the start/stop button for 5 seconds until the dash illuminates. Mopar push button: press the start/stop button twice, until it is in the RUN position). Ensure the vehicle battery is in good health and all accessories (radio, HVAC, etc) are turned off
4) Select Flash > Write Vehicle

 

5) You must license the vehicle/file to flash it. When the license prompt appears, click Show License Options

*If it's already licensed, skip to Step 7

6) Select the appropriate license option and click Ok

7) When the write window appears, make sure you are ONLY writing the calibration to modules you want to tune (usually only ECM & TCM, if applicable).

Click write when you are ready to begin

8) Follow any onscreen instructions that may appear. When the write process has completed, click Close and turn the key OFF before starting the vehicle.
