Predator Satisfaction Guarantee/
Return Policy
Predator ReFlash
Policy
All DiabloSport
products have a guarantee of satisfac-
tion. If in the rst 15 days from the date of
purchase you are not satised with the results the
Predator generates in your vehicle, simply restore the
factory tune to your vehicle and return the Predator to the selling dealer.
Pending examination of the tool by DiabloSport, you will receive a refund
from your selling dealer. Under no circumstances will DiabloSport ac-
cept the return of a Predator unit that has a factory tune remaining
in it.
The Predator will “marry” to the vehicle upon
upload of the factory tune and cannot be
re-ashed back to a blank tool. The
marrying of the VIN# to the tool is what
makes it possible for DiabloSport to
allow the vehicle to be re-ashed by GM
and still be re-programmed again by the
Predator. Re-ashing of the Predator is not
possible without the complete disassembly,
replacement and re-programming of critical
components within the Predator tool.
Predator Revisions:
In an effort to keep the DiabloSport Predator
at the forefront of technology, DiabloSport will
offer revisions to the Predator when necessary.
To return the Predator for a revision update,
please contact DiabloSport to obtain a Return
Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA)
and a shipping address. Predators shipped
without an RMA number clearly labeled on
the outer box will be refused. The updates will
be provided free of charge with original proof
of purchase. The customer is responsible for
all freight expenses.

Please read through the entire manual before installing a tune in your
vehicle. Failure to follow instructions can result in a damaged or disabled
PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
User must ensure that the factory “stock” tune is in the vehicle’s PCM before
installing the DiabloSport tune. GM dealer re-flashes are considered stock
factory tunes.
Serious engine damage will occur if the Predator tune is installed over a
non-factory/aftermarket performance tune. Predator tunes cannot be used
in conjunction with other tuning devices such as chips or plug-in modules of
any kind.
Do not perform any operations on Predator (expect live data diagnostics)
while vehicle is running. The vehicle must be parked, and the engine OFF.
Very important! Do not perform any operations on Predator

Notes
Preparing For
Performance Tune
Installation
2
• Apply parking brake to de-activate daytime running lights.
• Always have all the doors closed while installing the
DiabloSport Performance tune, and keep them closed
until the process is complete.
• Do not activate any electrical accessories while installing the
DiabloSport 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 DiabloSport Performance tune.
Please contact DiabloSport dealer if uncertain about
devices that are on your vehicle.
• Certain cellular phones or radio equipment may also cause
interference. Please remove or turn such devices off.
• Do not try to install tune in a vehicle with low battery voltage.
Charge your battery if necessary.
• Unless instructed, never turn the ignition key OFF while
the Predator is plugged in diagnostic port.
• Do not unplug the Predator while it is installing the DiabloSport
performance tune.

IMPORTANT!
Due to the fact that the GM OnStar system sends transmissions
periodically to the vehicle, we suggest that the system be temporarily disabled during the installation
and modification process.
If the OnStar system is not disabled during install or modification
and the system should receive a transmission in the middle of tune
install or backup, the tool will be interrupted and the process will
have to be started over again.
To avoid this problem it is recommended that the OnStar system be
disabled during tune install, backup and modification.
To disable the OnStar system, please refer to your owner’s manual
and locate the fuse(s) associated with OnStar. The OnStar system is
disabled when the OnStar light is not illuminated.
On some vehicles it is necessary to remove more than one fuse;
this will be indicated by the OnStar light remaining illuminated after
removal of the fuse from the engine compartment fuse panel.
