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 satised 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.

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.

Note: Regarding Tire Size

Adjust only if speedometer is off due to the increase
or decrease in tire size. The factory GM PCM can only
calculate up to a certain tire size before it will disable
the traction control system ( i.e. ABS brake system). It will
correct the speedometer but if tire size is over PCM limit, it
will trigger a check engine light or an ABS light. The Max
Tire size limit is a 35 inch tire.

%Torque Reduction vs RPM: This is Torque reduction as a function of RPM. Turning it off in
conjunction with TM “abuse mode” time limit and upshift torque reduction will eliminate
torque management. However we have noticed that the shift feel when disabling the upshift
torque reduction in trucks and SUV’s is reduced. Therefore, we recommend leaving it ON for
trucks and SUV’s.

Upshift Torque reduction: This is torque reduction control for each individual gear. Turning it
off in conjunction with TM “abuse mode” time limit and %Torque Reduction vs RPM will elimi­nate torque management. However, we have noticed that the shift feel when disabling the
upshift torque reduction in trucks and SUV’s s reduced. Therefore, we recommend leaving it
ON for trucks and SUV’s.

COT: This is Catalytic over tempeture protection. This parameter is used to cool down the
catalytic converters by adding fuel. This should only be disabled when cats are removed.

COT enable temp: This is the temperature to enable the COT process. Set this high 1200 to
disable it.
P-0420 turn this off when turning COT off
P-0430 turn this off when turning COT off
P0300
Multiple Misfire code. Only disable this code if it is triggered due to larger cam or other such
modifications. This parameter will raise the threshold for triggering the DTC at misfire; it will
not disable the test completely.

The following parameters are tables that dictate the misfire test. You have to turn ALL off in
order to completely disable the false P0300.
Misfire Low Rev
Misfire Low Cyl.
Misfire idle Cyl.
EGR
The EGR group contains “P” code disable for EGR related codes.

O2 sensor
The O2 sensor group contains “P” code disable for rear O2 sensor related codes.

Injector Slope: Determines the injector size and is used when correcting long term
fuel trims.

Injector change: To properly set up injector size, you have to multiply the (current
slope x injector % change). Example: changing #24 to #30 (30-24)/24*100=

25. Multiplying the entire slope by 25% will get you in range.

Determining long term fuel trims: Long term fuel trims are an accumulated value
of fuel added or subtracted during closed loop operation. These values should be
in the 0 to -2 range.To verify and tune for long term fuel trims, drive the vehicle for
30min or until warmed up, and monitor long term fuel trims. Get an average value.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to get on the highway, enable cruise control
and drive at 55mph while monitoring the data. Ideal values should be in the 0 to -2
range.

Now, once you get the average long term fuel trim value:

Positive long term fuel trims: For a positive value, subtract the value in percent in the
Predator injector slope; it is also recommended to lean both fuel tables by the same
percentage.

Negative long term fuel trims: For a negative value, add the value in percent in the
Predator injector slope; it is also recommended to richen both fuel tables by that
same percentage.

Once adjustments are made and the tune is installed, take the vehicle out and verify
the long term fuel trims as previously described. Adjust again if necessary.

Torque Management

PLEASE NOTE: Disabling torque management will put greater stress on your drive
line.

TM Abuse Mode time limit: This is the time in “abuse mode” as related to the func­tion of temperature. Turning it off in conjunction with Upshift Torque reduction and
% Torque Reduction vs RPM will eliminate torque management. However, we have
noticed that the shift feel when disabling the upshift torque reduction in trucks and
SUV’s is reduced. Therefore we recommend leaving it ON for trucks and SUV’s.
