Performance Chip Installation

Gather all necessary tools and the performance chip or programmer kit. Ensure the vehicle is turned off and keys are removed from the ignition.

Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shorts or issues during the installation process.

Locate the Engine Control Unit (ECU) in your vehicle, often found in the engine compartment. Refer to the vehicle's manual for the exact location and procedure to access the ECU.

Carefully disconnect the stock ECU from its harness and remove it, if necessary. Some performance chips may not require ECU removal and instead connect externally.

Connect the performance chip or programmer to the ECU or its harness following the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.

If the ECU was removed, re-install it into its original position and reattach any harnesses or connectors. Reassemble any parts of the vehicle that were removed or moved to access the ECU.

Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Ensure the connection is secure and free of corrosion.

Turn on the vehicle to ensure the performance chip or programmer is functioning. Monitor for any warning lights or unusual behavior.

Using the programmer interface, configure the performance settings according to your preferences or the recommendations provided with the chip or programmer.

Be aware that installing a performance chip may void the vehicle's warranty. It is important to consider this before proceeding with the installation.

If you are not confident in performing this installation, consider seeking help from a professional to avoid damage to your vehicle.
