An MD80 super 80 making an approach for runway 14R at ord, mistuned the ILS, selecting the ILS for runway 14L. Flight crew and TRACON both saw the problem at the same time and immediately took corrective action to avoid making approach to the wrong runway.

Narrative:
I was PF in VMC being vectored for approach to ord runway 14R. I tuned localizer for backup to anticipated visual approach and captain did same. ATC cleared us to intercept the localizer to runway 14R. I captured localizer manually at about 10 NM final. We both noticed quickly that the track did not look right for runway 14R, and recognized that we had tuned the frequency for runway 14L instead. I made immediate corrective turn to intercept final for runway 14R, while ATC vocalized our error at the same time. No conflict was noted, and a normal approach and landing was made to runway 14R. This is a reminder to pay closer attention to the tune, identify, and monitor function, and to the backing up of each other's actions -- especially in multiple runway operations, even in VMC at familiar airports.

Title: AN MD80 SUPER 80 MAKING AN APCH FOR RWY 14R AT ORD, MISTUNED THE ILS, SELECTING THE ILS FOR RWY 14L. FLC AND TRACON BOTH SAW THE PROB AT THE SAME TIME AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK CORRECTIVE ACTION TO AVOID MAKING APCH TO THE WRONG RWY.
Narrative: I WAS PF IN VMC BEING VECTORED FOR APCH TO ORD RWY 14R. I TUNED LOC FOR BACKUP TO ANTICIPATED VISUAL APCH AND CAPT DID SAME. ATC CLRED US TO INTERCEPT THE LOC TO RWY 14R. I CAPTURED LOC MANUALLY AT ABOUT 10 NM FINAL. WE BOTH NOTICED QUICKLY THAT THE TRACK DID NOT LOOK RIGHT FOR RWY 14R, AND RECOGNIZED THAT WE HAD TUNED THE FREQ FOR RWY 14L INSTEAD. I MADE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE TURN TO INTERCEPT FINAL FOR RWY 14R, WHILE ATC VOCALIZED OUR ERROR AT THE SAME TIME. NO CONFLICT WAS NOTED, AND A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG WAS MADE TO RWY 14R. THIS IS A REMINDER TO PAY CLOSER ATTN TO THE TUNE, IDENT, AND MONITOR FUNCTION, AND TO THE BACKING UP OF EACH OTHER'S ACTIONS -- ESPECIALLY IN MULTIPLE RWY OPS, EVEN IN VMC AT FAMILIAR ARPTS.
