ECU Coding and Programming
KeyCal have active OEM Software subscriptions for most vehicle makes. This gives us the same ability to perform programming as your Dealership, with the added convenience of performing the programming at your premises. We offer flat rate pricing for programming as well.
ECU configuration Some vehicles have the ability to customise settings, ie long range fuel tank capacity, wheel circumference (to correct speedo reading after larger tyres are fitted). There are also basic settings that can be configured such as turning off the annoying beeps and warnings in your car every time you open the doors etc. Customisation is very vehicle specific to what is possible, so get in touch to ask what can and can’t be done for your vehicle.
ECU Cloning
If you have replaced an ECU on your vehicle and require the old data transferred to the new module we can help. With multiple cloning tools available we can either copy the entire module configuration across, or specific details from the EEPROM such as VIN, Odometer reading etc. Get in touch to ask about what ECU Cloning we can do.
If your car has been in a collision and has had SRS restraint system components or airbags replaced you may still have an airbag light on the dash when the work has been completed.
The Restraint Control Module will usually hold a stored code for a “Crash Event” which often requires replacement of the module (even though the module itself has not been impacted or damaged).
In some cases this Crash Event code can be erased from the vehicle. We are able to review the crash history codes and in some cases they can be cleared for much less than the cost of replacing the module.
Clearing the code in no way effects the safety or operation of the SRS system, it is just removing a log that has been stored on the module. Some vehicles allow the code to be cleared via the OBD port, but most require removal from the vehicle and the procedure to be performed on the bench.
In the case where a bench clear is required we request the workshop to remove and refit the module themselves and just provide us the module. Pick up and drop off of the module is included in the price.
