( Those with 1997-1998 models — skip to “MICRO TUNER 2001 VEHICLE
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS”. )
For 1999-2003 Chevrolet Corvettes -
A. GM requires that a tool be installed into a wir-
ing connector beneath the passenger’s side
floor floor kick panel during ANY
PROGRAMMING PROCESS (this includes
performance programming and programming
back to stock).
B. Once visible, you will notice there are two
identical connectors to the immediate left.
The Superchips 2241, Star Adapter, will fit
either connector assembly., but it is only
designed for use on the lower connector. If
the 2241 is placed in the upper connector the
Micro Tuner will fail to recognize the PCM
and a “Comm Error” will occur. If this hap-
pens simply remove the Superchips 2241
from the upper connector and place it on the
lower connector. This will correct the problem
then simply restart the Micro Tuner program-
ming process.
1. Unhook, roll up, and remove the pas-
senger floor mat, if equipped. (See Fig.
18-a.)
2. Locate the passenger floor panel, which
is on an incline. (See Fig. 18-b.)
3. Depress and turn two lock assemblies,
freeing the panel for removal. (See Fig.
18-b.)
4. Located to the extreme left of the cavity
are two gray connectors (See Figs.
18-c, 18-a.)
a. These connectors are mounted one
above the other. (See Fig. 18-a.)
• Remove the male ‘cap’ from both
assys.
• Lift the small tabs on the sides
(See Fig. 18-d.)
• Both male caps are identical &
interchangeable.
b. Insert the Superchips 2241 into the
LOWER connector.
