INITIAL INSTALL
CAN Bypass Harness
The CAN bypass harness is required for the initial install (and any reinstall after uninstall) to allow proper ECU programming.
Install the bypass harness per COBB’s instructions before beginning.
COBB Tuning's installation guide:

Begin Installation
Plug the Accessport into the vehicle.
Select Install.
Follow all on-screen instructions exactly.
Observe all key-off wait timers.
Do not interrupt power during flashing.
The battery charger warning may be ignored if the battery is healthy.
MAP SELECTION
For CAMTuning remote tuning setup, select:
Stage0 – Simulated Stock TCM v100
(or Stage1 if specifically instructed)
This establishes Accessport pairing and prepares the ECU/TCU for custom tuning.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING INSTALL
During flashing, the ECU:
Extracts and stores the factory calibration
Erases and rewrites calibration memory segments
Reinitializes required modules
Re-establishes CAN communication
Dash warnings and DTCs during this process are normal and temporary.
After installation, you may briefly see warnings related to secondary collision braking or other driver assist systems. These typically clear within a few minutes of driving.
POST-INSTALL CLEANUP
Before proceeding:
Key must be OFF
Accessport must be UNPLUGGED
Remove the bypass harness and reinstall the factory CAN terminator block.
Failure to reinstall the terminator block before cycling the key will result in network communication errors.
If this occurs:
Reinstall the terminator block
Key OFF
On the Accessport:
Tune → Change Current MapRe-select the same map to reset communication
Future flashing and datalogging are done directly through the OBD port.
UNINSTALL (FOR DEALER SERVICE)
The CAN bypass harness is not required for uninstall.
To return the vehicle to stock:
Plug the Accessport into the OBD port
Select Uninstall
Follow on-screen prompts
The ECU and TCU will be restored to factory calibration and the Accessport will unpair from the vehicle.
REINSTALL AFTER DEALER VISIT
If the dealer updates the ECU or TCU:
Perform the full initial install procedure again
The CAN bypass harness is required
Select your custom CAMTuning map when prompted
This ensures proper extraction and pairing with the updated calibration.
IMPORTANT: SET AUTO OFF
To prevent battery drain, configure Auto Off on the Accessport:
