ATTENTION
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION,
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Your vehicle’s ECM may need to be updated.
This can be determined by locating the supplied
Diablosport programmer and plugging it into the
vehicle’s OBD2 port.
Once the programmer is powered up and is at
the main menu screen, there will be four options
to choose from:
Performance tune •
Diagnostics •
Options •
Tool information •
Select performance tune and follow the screen
for instructions.
If you are prompted to update the vehicle’s cali-
bration, disconnect the Diablosport programmer
and follow these steps:
Tools required: Diablosport U7778 Interface Kit.
In the event you are unable to purchase or
locate a U7778 Interface Kit, this process can
be accomplished by using the vehicle for the
power source (by plugging the programmer
into the vehicles OBD2 port) and by purchas-
ing a USB to serial cable (RS232) (Note: if
your computer has a serial cable outlet plug
then just a serial cable will be needed).
If you are unable to use the vehicle as the
power source, a power supply will be required.
The requirement for the power supply:
Input 120 VAC 60Hz 30W output 12 VDC
1000 Ma, with a 5.5 x 2.5 mm tip, positive

new icon that the installer has placed on your
desktop. (See Fig)
With the programmer powered up and con- •
nected to your computer, double-click on the
DSDownloader icon. You should see an

nect it from the power source and the com-
puter.

port and follow the main menu screen (as
