CHAPTER 3 OPERATING THE SOFTWARE
Once the ECU is installed, the programming software allows the user to change the settings
currently stored in the ECU. The ECU requires information about the engine it is to operate
such as:
- Number of cylinders: it needs this to calculate engine speed, ignition timing and fuel
quantity
- The injection mode to be used
- Output options required
This information is called set-up information.
The ECU also requires information about the amount of fuel or ignition timing it must supply
based on various engine-operating conditions. An example of this is the amount of fuel the
engine requires based on the current intake air temperature, this information is stored in a
“Map”. As the intake air temperature changes so do the fuel requirements of the engine, so
the ECU has data for the amount of fuel injected for various different temperatures, this set of
data is known as a “Map”. These ideas of data storage are discussed further in CHAPTER 4
