⚫ ECU Coding
ECU Coding, also known as Teach-in Program, or Component Adaptation, is used to
reprogram adaptive data for electronic control modules after repairs or replacements
of parts.
※NOTE: Codable control modules/components are system-specific, which means that
not all control modules are codable.
⚫ ECU Programming
ECU Online programming means a user could download the latest version of the
software from the online server database through Internet access (this procedure is
done automatically when the tablet is connected to the Internet, so there is no need
to check for software updates yourself), and reprograms the newest version into the
ECU of vehicles.
Reprogramming involves taking the following steps, but there may be changes related
to the vehicle type, so please complete the operation according to the actual situation
and software prompts.
⚫ Available programming or coding operations vary by test vehicle. Only the
available operations are displayed in the tablet menu.
※NOTE: For some vehicle brands, such as BMW, the ability to program a module
is limited to the number of times it has already been programmed and the
hardware version of the control module itself.
⚫ The programming function applies only when the vehicle is connected with a VCI
device, which serves as a PassThru interface to establish communication with and
transfer data to the vehicle's ECU.
⚫ Before applying the ECU programming function, please make sure that the tablet
computer is connected to a stable Internet connection so that the tablet computer
can access the vehicle manufacturer's server for update services.
⚫ Selecting the programming or coding function will open a menu of operating
options, which differs depending on the vehicle's make and model. Selecting a
menu option either displays a programming interface or opens another menu
containing other options. When performing programming or coding operations,
follow all instructions on the screen. The way and content of the information
displayed on the screen differ depending on the type of operation being
performed.
