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 vehicleInformation Page 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 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.
