Whoever thinks of gaining power and torque in their car's engine, thinks first of the "Automotive Plant Programmer", the plant programmer has been a much sought after option in auto repair shops. With that I ask you:
Do you know what a professional programmer does?
- Let's clarify some doubts and explain better.
the injection system
Before we start talking about the central programmer, it is important to talk about the car's injection system. All vehicles currently launched are equipped with electronic injection in order to offer better engine performance and reduce the emission of polluting gases.
The injection system has three groups of components. Are they:
sensors: these are responsible for verifying pressure, speed, temperature and proportion of the reactants in the burning of the fuel;
information center: it is responsible for controlling all vehicle information, managing the engine operation from the information sent by the sensors — this is where all the reprogramming is done;
actuators: they are responsible for feeding and burning the fuel in the engine and some examples are fuel injectors, fuel pump, spark coil, stepper motor and the cooling fan — they also work from the information sent by the central.
switchboard programmer
The central programmer, all the components mentioned above are modified with the aim of increasing the vehicle's torque and power. This service goes by various names such as ECU reprogramming, ECU recalibration, ECU remapping, remap and so on.
Reprogramming is done using software with a computer connected to the vehicle's system and is specific to each make and model. The first step is to access the vehicle's electronic injection (ECU) data record center and understand how it is working in original mode.
After analyzing the conditions, the software is readjusted to suit the driver's use and choice. There are several models of this type of software available on the market, so it is up to the mechanic to research and choose the best option for his day to day work.
Heads up! It is necessary to pay attention to each car model when using the central programmer. Ideally, the mechanic should specialize to know exactly how far he can modify each vehicle so as not to harm other components, such as the exchange.
It is important to note that these changes do not apply to carbureted cars. That is, older models do not support the use of the switch programmer. The service is exclusive to injected cars.
Auxiliary equipment
The central programmer uses exclusive equipment to perform such services as AUTO SCANER (light, medium and heavy line), MPC/EEPRON readers through the OBD connection or PINAGES, there are also some other equipment or accessories that provide changes in the vehicle.
