Modern Diagnostic Technology...iflash
TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE Much like the operating
system of a PC, the
calibration files of Engine Control Module (ECM) are updated from
time to time, to ensure ideal performance as the vehicle ages. These
improvements, provided by the vehicle manufacturers, are often
issues affecting fuel economy, drive ability and diagnostics. Before
the introduction of flash technology, our technicians would have to
replace the entire ECM with one with an updated calibration. The
only exception was General Motors, in which they designed their ECMs
with removable PROMS (Programmable Read Only Memory), so our
technicians would only need to replace the PROM. Unfortunately, the
location of the ECMs on the vehicle still required the technician to
remove the module in order to replace the PROM. With the
introduction of flash technology our technicians can simply update
the ECM's calibration electrically, without removing the ECM from
the vehicle or it's programmable memory. Currently every
manufacturer has their own method, but generally it involves three
components, OEM software & Data, a personal computer and a pass-thru
device (either an OEM scan tool or an aftermarket interface like a
2534 Global Programmer). The On-Board 2534 Global Programmer What is
J2534? It is a new SAE-standard, allows for the flash reprogramming
of most late model vehicles through a standard hardware devise. The
I-Flash lets you replace or recalibrate ECMs so our customers
don't need to be sent to the dealer. Updating calibrations are the
“21st Century Tune Up” and you can do them with the I-Flash.
Calibrations files often correct: DTCs that are set incorrectly,
transmission shift points, timing issues, fuel economy and other
drive ability problems. Over 75 million (93-current) North American
vehicles have programmable ECMs and this number increases every
year. Your customers already have these vehicles. With the IFlash we
can help keep them on the road and out of the dealership. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who is responsible for the
implementation of laws to control air pollution from motor vehicles,
realized that vehicle emission is influenced by the Engine Control
Module’s (ECM) calibration. Unfortunately, access to equipment to
update the calibration that could improve vehicle emission was only
available at dealerships. Now few auto repair shops offer the Iflash
technology in the local Vancouver area. Dings are proud to announce
we have that technology to offer to our customers now and invite you
to stop by for our trained technicians to repair your auto with the
latest technology available. WE CAN FLASH DOMESTIC CARS PCM OR ECM
IN OR OUT OF VEHICLE AND MOST IMPORTS.
