The Concept & Benefit of ECU Remapping Of Your Vehicle

Image
Every new car and van on the road today has an ECU (ENGINE CONTROL UNIT). This Engine Control Unit is almost like the vehicle's "brain," as it contains a small processor that collects data from various sensors throughout the engine. It examines data such as engine temperature, accelerator pedal angle, oxygen content in burnt exhaust gases, and many other parameters. It examines data such as engine temperature, accelerator pedal angle, oxygen content in burnt exhaust gases, and many other parameters. Using the data from these sensors, it can then add the appropriate amount of fuel at the appropriate time to provide a good balance of fuel economy, performance, and emission control. When a manufacturer creates a new car, it must consider all of the conditions it may face in all of the regions where they intend to sell this model. This means that, rather than simply optimizing the ECU's program to deliver the best performance or the most fuel efficiency; they must make co...

Why Car Key Programming Is Vital For The Safety?

Starting your car's engine was simple. You got in, turned the key, the engine started, and you were on your way. However, as the roads become increasingly congested with new cars, this is no longer always the case. Unfortunately, as more new cars are released each day and vehicle prices rise, so does the threat of theft. This means that new cars should or must have better security features to prevent this from happening. Remember that it was easier to start your car, it was also much easier for someone to steal it. As a result, manufacturers are becoming more aware of the need for additional security measures. A new specialized microchip was introduced in 1996, and it has since become extremely popular with most car manufacturers. This is an electronic fail-safe, which means that if the microchip is not detected, the vehicle will not start. This is an excellent way to frustrate car thieves, but it is not ideal if you lose or damage your keys! Because of this new technology, reg...
