EZ LYNK TUNING — READ THIS FIRST

15 MINEZ LYNKTUNERS & DELETE KITS18 STEPS

How to tune your truck with an EZ Lynk Auto Agent 2.0 or 3.0: installing the device, downloading your first set of tunes, and what to know for your particular truck. It is a simple process as long as you take your time and follow the steps. SOTF power levels, for every vehicle: 1 optimised stock, 2 tow, 3 economy, 4 street, 5 performance. Changing levels needs a rotary switch; it cannot be done in the app. Tune file abbreviations: PSD Power Stroke; CMC/CMD/CME/CMF Cummins ECM by year; DSP5 Duramax SOTF; ER emissions removed; EB exhaust brake; LS locked shifts; HSP high shift points; GH grid heater delete; FT fuel temp SOTF switch required; CAC charge air cooler switch required; LBF low boost fueling (quicker throttle, added smoke); HISS hiss at idle; RUMBLE rumble at idle. EZ Lynk device support: 877-207-5530, support@ezlynk.com, ezlynk.com/support.

Steps

1 Buy the EZ Lynk with limited or unlimited support, and give us your VIN

We need the VIN when you order so the truck is linked to the device before it reaches you. Most orders ship expedited, so the VIN at order time is what gets it to you fastest.

2 Tune the truck before removing any hard parts

Do this before you even think about removing the EGR or exhaust, so a tuning problem does not leave you with a broken truck over a weekend.

2018 and newer RAM: hook up the unlock cable first.

3 Hook up a battery charger on a 10 amp charge

Even with brand new batteries trickle charged to 100%. If you do not own a charger, get one. The newer ECMs are very sensitive to voltage and the flash fails if it drops too low.

4 Download the EZ Lynk Auto Agent app and make an account

It needs iOS 8 or Android 5 or newer. In the app choose Create An Account, then verify your email address when the confirmation arrives. If you already have an account, use that one.

5 Plug the EZ Lynk into the OBDII port under the dash

Turn the key to Run first, without starting the engine, so the ECM is awake. With push-button start, press the button twice without touching the brake. Then plug the Auto Agent in; a blue and a green light show it has booted.

Flashing a 2018 or newer Cummins? Connect the bypass cable at the same time. It only needs to be in while you flash, but it does no harm to leave it, in which case route it through the firewall.

6 Connect your phone to the Auto Agent over Wi-Fi

Open your Wi-Fi settings and join the EZLYNK_#### network. A tick appears next to it when connected, and "connected without internet" is normal. The Auto Agent 2 can also connect over Bluetooth. Open the app and your vehicle gauges appear.

Your vehicle is lynked to us when you buy from us. If the phone has cellular data, a prompt asks you to lynk the vehicle; follow it. Without cellular data, join a network with internet, reopen the app to finish lynking, then switch back to the Auto Agent's network.

7 Go to ECU Profiles and flash your tune

The app opens on the main dashboard. The button in the top left drops a menu; select your vehicle, then ECU Profiles. That is where your tune files live. Tapping a file shows anything specific about it. Tap the download arrow on the profile you want, then Install; the app walks you through the flash. On a phone or tablet without cellular data, switch to a network with internet to download the profile, then back to the EZ Lynk network to install it.

Duramax and Ford: after the ECM file, go back and flash your TCM file too. Cummins transmission tuning is built into the one file.

Your tune files are always in ECU Profiles. Tire size, fuel tank size, gear ratio and so on are in the Functions menu; if a function is not shown, it is not available for your vehicle. Tire size cannot be calibrated above 34.5". The Auto Agent only needs to be plugged in while programming and can be removed afterwards.

Go to ECU Profiles and flash your tune
8 If the device will not connect or a tune fails to load

Close the app, unplug the EZ Lynk, plug it back in, reopen the app and try again. If the device is hot to the touch it can malfunction; let it cool first. If it keeps failing, contact EZ Lynk: 877-207-5530 or support@ezlynk.com.

9 Checking a SOTF switch

A rotary switch is required to change power levels. If you think the switch is not working, test it with the engine running: Cummins switches show on the barometric pressure PID in the EZ Lynk dashboard, Power Stroke switches on the fuel temp PID, and Duramax switches must be tested with a multimeter. If the value changes as you turn the switch, it is working.

10 When a tune revision is needed

Most modifications need no revision. Ones that usually do: a larger injection pump, some transmissions, some larger injectors, and larger air intakes such as a 5". If you have done a non-VGT turbo swap, or any of these, reach out in the EZ Lynk chat so you get the right file. A DCR pump conversion on a 2011–2019 Power Stroke needs no revision.

11 Cummins 2007.5–2009

A patch file must be installed before the tune file will load. TCM tuning is separate from ECM tuning, in your TCM Tunes folder. Every TCM tune has a relearn: drive at least 100 miles under 30% throttle, letting the truck run up and down through all the gears as often as possible. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

12 Cummins 2010–2012

A patch file must be installed before the tune file will load. ECM and TCM tunes install together; no TCM file means the tune carries factory TCM specs. Every TCM tune has a relearn: drive at least 100 miles under 30% throttle through all the gears. Each time the ECM is flashed the TCM resets and the relearn starts over. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

13 Cummins 2013–2018

ECM and TCM tunes install together; no TCM file means factory TCM specs. Same 100-mile relearn after every flash. A security bypass cable is required on a 2018 only. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

14 Cummins 2019–2021

ECM and TCM tunes install together; no TCM file means factory TCM specs. Same 100-mile relearn after every flash. A security bypass cable is required on every vehicle.

If the injection pump recall has been done on a 2019–2020, install a CP3 file; if not, a CP4 file. Your dealership can tell you whether the recall was performed. 2021 is CP3 only. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

15 Duramax 2007.5–2010 LMM

SOTF switch pinout: pinholes 46 and 54. If you link the vehicle and see no tune files, reach out in the EZ Lynk chat. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

16 Duramax 2011–2016 LML

Every LML left the factory with a CP4 pump; if yours has a CP3 swap, reach out in the EZ Lynk chat for the right file. SOTF switch pinout: pinholes 11 and 35. If you ordered transmission tuning and it is not in your library, reach out in the chat. Every TCM tune has the 100-mile relearn. If a TCM flash leaves the truck in limp mode with no PRND indicator, unplug the battery cables for 30 minutes to reset. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

17 Power Stroke 2008–2010

If a TCM flash leaves the truck in limp mode, unplug the battery cables for 30 minutes to reset. Every TCM tune has a relearn: at least 100 miles under 30% throttle through all the gears, and Fords need 500 miles for a full relearn. Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file.

18 Power Stroke 2011–2019

Unplug the throttle valve for any emissions-removed file. Every TCM tune has the relearn: 100 miles under 30% throttle through all the gears, 500 miles for a full relearn. A DCR pump conversion needs no tune revision.
