Electronic programmers and modules are key components in the modern world of computer controlled automobiles. Today's programmers are designed to maximize both the power and efficiency of your vehicle's powertrain. They also play a key role in maximizing the power you can gain from bolt-on performance items such as intakes and exhausts. Whether your goal is to maximize power, fuel economy, or both there is a vast market of available programmers to suit your needs.
Programmers & Electronics Overview
Programmers - Programmers are generally devices that work in conjunction with your vehicle's data port. Programmers access the vehicle's onboard computer via the vehicle's data port changing parameters within the ECU, resulting in different tunes. In general, they do not offer shift-on-the-fly power levels and tune changes are done with the vehicle off.
Modules - Modules offer many of the same benefits as programmers; however, they are wired into the vehicle and work with the vehicle's ECU, changing its parameters to increase vehicle performance. Many of today's modern modules come with digital displays and loads of functions, ranging from monitoring vehicle systems to analyzing 1/4 mile times to coaching your driving to increase your fuel economy. Being semi-permanently wired in modules gives you the ability to change power levels on the fly, whether it is by a dash-mounted switch or a fancy touch screen display.
Programmers and Modules both are typically internet updateable via manufacturer's websites, allowing you access to the latest tunes for your vehicle or new applications. Both typically offer multiple vehicle tunes from mild to wild. Whichever direction you decide to go, there are plenty of options available right at your fingertips.
Vehicle Performance - Some programmers have evolved into monitoring stations that allow you to keep in touch with your vehicle. These premium dash- or window-mounted programmers will help you keep an eye on how your vehicle is performing while giving you enhanced performance at the same time.
Updateable - Some companies offer performance updates that can be downloaded from their websites for free.
Fuel - Some programmers require that you use higher octane fuel in order to achieve the maximum horsepower benefit.
Performance Levels - Some programmers offer different levels of performance. These levels can either be adjusted “on the fly” via a switch or can be reprogrammed while the vehicle is off.
Pyrometer - Does the diesel programmer include a pyrometer to help you monitor exhaust gas temperatures?
Tire Adjustability - Does the programmer allow for tire size and gear ratio adjustments?
