Using the Flash Chip Programmer

Hopefully you ordered the Flash Chip Programmer Option when you ordered your system from John. This is an added cost option that lets you flash your chip to an updated profile based on what John see when you send him a data log. Given the ease of making these changes, coupled with John's expertise, it will be money well spent. The only caveat is that you have to have a laptop for the data logging.

What follows is a pictorial step by step for removing the chip from the ECM to using the chip programmer and software.
