Bypass Cable Instructions 

1.  Twist the tan and yellow wires so that there is at least one twist every two inches.

2.  Carefully, remove the OBDII connector from the dash by depressing the tabs on the sides.

3.  Remove the two grey pin retainers from the back of the connector. 

4.  One at a time, remove & replace the yellow and brown wires from locations 6 & 14. For a 2018 truck, replace the yellow with yellow and the brown with tan. For the 2019, 2020 and 2021s, replace the yellow with tan and the brown/green with yellow. No matter the wire colors, the pins go in 6 and 14.

NOTE: If you install the cable and can’t connect to the truck, try swapping the wires.

Another Note: A 1.5mm wide flat terminal release tool or a pointed sewing needle works for removing pins.

5.  Reinstall the two grey pin retainers.

6.  Locate the green “Star” connector above the parking brake. For 2018 plug the harness into any empty space, for 2019-2021 plug the harness into the fifth position from the left at the bottom.

     This cable is meant to be installed and left in the vehicle, NOT intended to be uninstalled and re-used. Once installed, the OBDII will still function normally.

Disclaimer : If you want to keep the Bypass cable connected you can. You can also remove it. It will not make any difference. You will need to install it again if you ever require tune revisions.
