IMPORTANT STEPS (Prior to Programming): Make sure your battery is fully charged before programming your vehicle. Do NOT unplug the Evolution while programming is in process. This could cause your vehicle to become disabled. Some types of radio equipment, electrical accessories, and cellular communications devices can interfere with the programming process. Either turn off or remove all devices from the vehicle. Close the doors on your vehicle and keep them closed during the programming process. Set the parking brake on your vehicle to deactivate the daytime running
lights. Remove any other electronic power enhancing modules from your vehicle before programming. This includes aftermarket programmers and chips.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS Disconnect your Evolution while your truck is not in use. The Evolution does not turn itself off and uses the power from the truck’s battery. Failure to unplug the Evolution is equal to leaving your dome light on and could drain your battery.
