Reading File From Vehicle
|
1) Download 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 | |
| 3) Turn the key to the ON position, but do NOT start the vehicle. (Ford push button: press the start/stop button once. 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 > Read Vehicle (you must not have a tune file currently open in the Editor to read the vehicle) |  |
|
5) When the "Read Vehicle" popup appears, select "Read" **DO NOT interrupt the read process once it has started or you will have to restart the procedure |
 |
|
6) Follow all on-screen prompts during the read process (some vehicles will ask you to cycle the ignition, wait a certain amount of time, etc) |
|
|
7) Once the read has completed, a window will popup asking you to save the file. Give it a useful filename (e.g. "2013ChevyCamaro_JohnDoe_STOCK"), and take note of where you've saved the file. |
 |
|
8) After you save the file, you may turn the key off. Your tune file is now saved and ready to work with. |
