MOST LATE MODEL VEHICLES CAN BE FLASH REPROGRAMMED



Car companies are relying more and more on flash reprogramming to correct driveability and emissions related problems in newer vehicles. This procedure is usually done at a new car dealership.

Common onboard computers in newer vehicles include the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Body Control Modules (BCM), Immobilizer (ICU) and numerous other control modules to manage every electronic system from power door locks to crash data.

These computer systems all require software and in some cases OEM re-learn procedures. We offer these services utilizing the latest OEM equipment and technology. Most domestic vehicles built since 1996 (over 180 million!) have computers that can be reprogrammed.


Reprogramming may be required for a variety of reasons :

  1. One is when a vehicle sets false trouble codes.

  2. The original factory programing may be overly sensitive or not take into account wear or other factors that may affect the operation of certain sensors or the OBD II monitors.

  3. PCM Reprogramming is also necessary to change the engine idle speed, spark timing, fuel mixture or other emission control functions.

  4. PCM Reprogramming may be required to resolve a hot or cold starting issue, idle roughness, stalling, or an emissions failure.
    Reprogramming is often used to modify the operation of emission functions so they have less of an effect on drivability.

  5. PCM Reprogramming may be necessary to smooth out or change the shift characteristics of an automatic transmission.
    It may also be used to modify the operation of the ABS, traction control or stability control systems, to change steering feel on vehicles with variable assist steering, and to change the ride characteristics on vehicles with electronic ride control.

  6. If a PCM, TCM, BCM or other control module is being replaced on a vehicle, reprogramming may be required to calibrate the new module to that particular vehicle.

  7. Also, additional learning procedures may be required to "initialize" the module so it will function properly.



THE UPDATED SOFTWARE FOR REPROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE COMES FROM THE VEHICULE MANUFACTURER.



IMPORTANT:
Reprogramming is irreversible. Once the latest version of software has been installed, you can't go back to the old version. Nor can you install the same version of software over itself.


Do I need to reprogram my client's vehicle ?

  • The first step is to determine whether or not any updates are available for a particular vehicle, and if so whether or not such an update might be needed to solve a particular problem. Updates can be found by searching recent TSBs or recalls. This will tell you which makes/models/years (or VINs or module part numbers) are covered by an update, and what symptom, problem or issue the update is designed to resolve.

  • Even though an update may be available for a vehicle, it does NOT mean the vehicle must be updated. As long as the vehicle is running fine and is experiencing no problems, there is no need to update it. On the other hand, if the vehicle has a problem that may be resolved by installing an update, then updating would be a good idea.

  • The next step is to use a scan tool to determine which version of software is currently loaded in the vehicle. If it is not the latest version, and the vehicle is having a problem (or would benefit from an upgrade), reprogramming would be the next step.

One thing reprogramming cannot do is fix mechanical problems like vacuum leaks, dirty fuel injectors, worn spark plugs, piston rings or bearings. If an engine or other component has a mechanical problem, these need to be diagnosed and ruled out or repaired before reprogramming is considered as a repair possibility.
