Easy Plug & Play Installation

Step 1: Find your OBD port

Locate your vehicle’s OBD‑II port (usually under the dash near the steering wheel).

Step 2: Plug in

Plug the AFM/DFM Disabler into the port—you can do this with the engine on or off.

• If the vehicle is off: The LED will blink a few times and then turn off. That’s normal—it’s in standby mode.

• If the vehicle is on: The first blue light lights up after plugging in, then the second one flashes. All lights will fade out shortly after turning off the engine.

Step 3: You’re Ready to Drive!

Just start driving and enjoy smoother, full-cylinder performance right away.

💡 Helpful Tip:

Our disabler is designed with ultra‑low power draw, so you can safely leave it plugged in for weeks between drives. If you plan to park your vehicle for a month or longer, we recommend simply unplugging it for total peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this void my warranty?

A: Nope. The device is designed to leave no trace. Just unplug it before any dealer visit, and there will be no evidence it was ever installed.

Q: What will it do to my gas mileage?

A: Most users don’t see a noticeable change, and some even see a small improvement—especially in city driving where constant cylinder switching can actually hurt mileage. On pure highway trips, you might see a very slight decrease, but it’s generally minimal.

Q: Does it reprogram my ECU?

A: Not at all. It doesn’t change or rewrite any of your factory programming. It simply sends a command to the ECU to keep all cylinders active.

Q: Will it pass emissions testing?

A: The device itself won’t cause you to fail, but we always recommend removing it before any state emissions test since they usually scan the OBD-II port as part of the inspection.

Q: Will it fix my car if I already have a collapsed lifter?

A: Unfortunately, no. A collapsed lifter is a mechanical failure that requires physical repair. Our device is designed to prevent lifter failure, not fix existing damage.

Q: Does it cause issues with the myChevrolet (or myGMC) app?

A: No, it works just fine alongside the app.

Q: Is there a warranty?

A: Yes! Every AFM/DFM Disabler comes with a 20-year warranty.

Q: Does it add horsepower?

A: It doesn’t add horsepower, but it does give you all of your engine’s power, right when you need it. By eliminating the lag when the system switches back from V4 to V8 mode, throttle response feels much sharper and more consistent.

Q: Does it disable auto stop/start?

A: Yes—it will also keep your auto stop/start system from activating.

Q: How exactly does it “protect” my engine?

A: It tackles the root cause of the most common and catastrophic failure in these GM engines. AFM/DFM physically turns off half your cylinders by collapsing lifters, dozens of times per drive. This repeated on/off slamming causes excessive wear. Our device stops this process entirely, allowing all components to operate in their designed, stable, full-cylinder state. This significantly reduces stress on the valvetrain, helping to prevent lifter collapse, camshaft scoring, and the domino effect of damage that follows.
