The start for a beginner

Hi to all.


I'm going to start working on the ECU of the car.


I have to say that I have a slight familiarity with the diagnosis, remapping and are not fasting in the field of engines.

For the moment I've only available to a cable VAG KKL (16pin - USB), last SW "adapter 16 pin - 6pin" and "adapter 16 pin - attack fiat".

Also, I have only ECM2001.


- From what I've read on the forum you have to withdraw before a file with the extension ".ori" with a different software from ECM2001; for? I don't know which one to use.

I wanted to use a SW say suitable for a little bit for all the cars and not a single brand if possible. What do you recommend?


- I read that in order to withdraw the map use the ELM327 or the "Cock". Can I use my VAG KKL, or do I have to buy another interface?


- ECM2001 ? one of the many SW for remapping. He recommended other better, or can I use this?


Sorry if the section ? the wrong one or I have been unclear or even this doamnda ? was placed in another topic.

If c'? the possibility? if I can send through the link if there is similar topic that respond to my requests, cos? to be able to append.


Thanks a lot!

what you are saying is all busted studied in the forum so you'll get the ideas more clear

made before a culture on the forum and we then put the hand..see reading you will understand ..!!!

thanks for the replies, as far as the material to be purchased to start with, what would you recommend for me?

Hello, your ideas are a bit confused, beginning with tell you that the ecm serves only to change the map of the car, while the vag or other interfaces similar type elm autocom etc... sonk interfaces for diagnostics and I'll which you can read and write drive.
To be able to read the various ecu you need to have an interface type mpps,the cock, etc... after reading you edit the file with ecm after you change the write again by using the interface that you are used to reading. More or less this is a quick summary but I suggest as already other users have done to study a bit on the forum because believe me if you don't know what do they do damage... hope that help

mjet10 you have been really help, I'll ask you another thing mpps and the rooster have the program to fetch the file, or is downloaded from the network?
Also what advice between mpps and the rooster?

Sorry for my inaccuracy, but with the program for the bike, I have always used the KKL to do it all.

Thanks again.

Congratulations mjet10, with your intervention, you have summed up the process of diagnosis and do a remap, usually these are the answers that await the less experienced.....

Of course, have a software to read and write, but you would do for work, hobby or just for your car? Thanks passion engines :-)

Last thing and more? important references not, and how to make the diagnosis because when you write to an ECU of the block and is always around the corner, and then are pain , first of all, decide how you have said what you want to do only one car in particular, or work on the pi? car

For the moment, will work? on my car and I have 2: a Volvo V70 TDI ante 2000 and a Toyota Yaris of 2010; of course, both as a diagnosis and as mappings,
with the addition of the possibility? you can delete the crap (EGR etc).
For the future, when the avr? learned will work? also on the other car.
I can therefore say that ? for a hobby, even why? when in the work c'? the passion that you can't? call work (philosophy of life).

Honestly I have not worked on any of these 2 CAR so I can't give you advice on what to buy for? however, you can contact the administrators of the forum that will direct you and especially the products tested and not ciofeche !

When you order a Mpps you will be? posted a mini cd with the soft .Once you have installed and removed all anti-virus , anti-spam, and various sar? enough intuitive on what to do.
The version that I used ? 12 .

as said nox entrusted to the directors they will be able to tell you better. And anyway, if I can afford you say again that if you have not remapped never a car before, he studied and only after you have understood it begins to do something with the electronics of the car not to play. I consigljo to read The old posts on the forum and slowly understand the mechanism then if you do not, it is clear that something maybe inquire. After studying you get the file ori of your car and start to do some test and maybe the seats to see if you got it or not.
Mine is just a tip but according to me the right way in this industry you can't burn the stages.

Thank you all for the answers.

Of course, I'm asking questions in order to understand, and the first attempt I want to first make sure you have understood everything.
For? let's say that finch? we talk about the diagnosis, reset, and pick the file ".ori" I don't think is a problem and you are likely to damage.

*Matty23p as ever recommends not to work on EDC17? what is the differences from the previous versions?
