PCM, TCM... MODULE PROGRAMMING |
In general, vehicle owners have difficulty in accepting that the software operating the modules can be problematic. Many of them have never been informed that their vehicles are equipped with modules that use software. It is hard to believe that a module that has been functioning effectively for years has suddenly a need for a new software version. |

Like Microsoft, Adobe, Java, etc. that send messages indicating that a software update is available, automakers periodically revise their software and make available there new releases. |

As your vehicle is not connected to the Internet (for software module updates), thereof necessary updates are not so obvious to be implemented for the application. When accessing the recommended maintenance services for your vehicle, we can see if a manufacturer's update is available for the module software. Module updates can reduce emissions and improve startup, the overall operations of the engine, idle quality (stabilization) and maybe even fuel economy. |

About the Transmission Reprogramming the transmission module can change the sensation during gear shift speed ratio. This is often indicated by a large number of clients. It complies with the new manufacturer gearshift strategy and can be applied to improve the power, fuel economy and life of the transmission.. The Battery As the PCM commands the starting system and the charging system, known software revisions can improve the performance of both systems and also extend the life of the battery.
