Follow the vehicle preparation steps to
ensure a complete program
installation. These steps must be
preformed prior to installing the Banks
OttoMind program.

Warning

• Failure to follow proper
instructions can result in a
damaged or disabled PCM
(Powertrain Control Module).

• Do not perform any operations
on Banks OttoMind (expect live
data diagnostics) while vehicle is
running. The vehicle must be
parked and engine OFF.

Preparation and

Precautions
1.

Remove the instrument cluster

fuse. Locate the fuse panel under the
lift-up dashboard or beneath the
dashboard on the driver side. Remove
fuse 21 from the fuse panel and set
aside.

Note: Some models will not have an
instrument cluster fuse (fuse 21). You
may continue with the installation if
your vehicle does not come equipped
with the fuse.

Note: Fuse 21 will be replaced after
the installation of the OttoMind tune is
complete.

2.

Do not activate any electrical

accessories while installing the Banks
OttoMind Performance tune. Ensure
that there are no electronic devices
wired or plugged into the vehicle that
can cause a substantial voltage drop
when activated during installation of

the Banks OttoMind Performance tune.
Please contact Banks dealer if
uncertain about devices that are on
your vehicle.

3.

Certain cellular phones or radio

equipment might also cause
interference, please remove or turn
such devices off.

4.

Ensure that the vehicle battery

voltage is correct. Charge your battery
if necessary.

Note: Do not attempt to install the
Banks OttoMind performance tune on
a vehicle with a low voltage battery.

5.

Unless instructed, never turn the

ignition key OFF while the Banks
OttoMind is plugged into the OBDII
connection port.

Warning: Do not unplug the Banks
OttoMind Programmer while it is
installing the Banks OttoMind
performance tune.

6.

Ensure that the factory “stock” tune

is in the vehicle’s PCM before installing
the Banks OttoMind. If you are
uncertain if your vehicle has the stock
tune then have the vehicle’s PCM re-
flashed by a GM dealer.

Note: GM dealer re-flashes are the
same as stock factory tune.

WARNING: The Banks OttoMind
should not be installed over a non-
factory/aftermarket performance
tune, and cannot be used in
conjunction with other tuning
devices such as chips or plug in
modules of any kind.
