2. Reading Your Stock Tune


Installing your new Tune

(Step 1) Once you receive your new tune file back from Iron Loader you will need to save it to your PowerGate 3+ unit. First, you will open your PWGuser software on your computer and plug your Powergate 3+ unit in using the USB cord.


(Step 2) Click on the “Upload Data” tab.


(Step 3) A browser will open and you will need to select the new file that Iron Loader has sent to you. Then click “Upload”.


(Step 4) Once complete you can unplug your PowerGate 3+ unit and take it to your car.


(Step 5) Plug the PowerGate 3+ unit into your OBDII port and wait for the main screen to load.


(Step 6) Tap the “Tuning” button and follow the onscreen commands.


(Step 7) You will come to a screen where there will be 2 options. Your stock file and your new Iron Loader tune file will be available. Click the new Iron Loader file, then the Right Arrow button and follow the onscreen commands.


(Step 8) During the next procedure, you will need to wait about 15-20 minutes while the PowerGate 3+ unit writes the new tune to your ECU. (WA


(Step 9) Once the writing of your new tune to the ECU has completed, you will see commands on the PowerGate 3+ screen. Follow these commands.

 (There will be a command that tells you to turn your car on, then start the vehicle. You may or not may be able to start your vehicle. There is nothing wrong, just press the “OK” button on your PowerGate 3+ unit and continue through the commands.)


(Step 10) Once the command prompts are complete, you will be directed back to the home screen of the PowerGate 3+ unit. Once you get there, your car will be in the “off” position and you can plug your PowerGate 3+ unit.

 (At this point your vehicle may be stuck on, meaning all the electronics are powered on even though the car is in the off position, there is nothing wrong!)

RNING: During this procedure DO NOT turn off your car or unplug your PowerGate 3+ unit!)


(Step 11) Before you start your vehicle, you will need to check your ECU for any DTC code. You can do this using your Powergate 3+ unit or any ODBII scanning device you may have. 


(Step 12) Start your vehicle and make sure everything runs correctly and enjoy!
