The Concept & Benefit of ECU Remapping Of Your Vehicle
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...
