Get more from ECM Titanium when working with diesel ECUs. Learn what the driver is showing you, what the maps do and how to make coherent, reviewable calibration changes.

Suitable for people entering ECU remapping and experienced file users who want stronger diesel calibration knowledge.

What you will learn

Learn through practical ECU-file exercises, supported by explanations of what each map controls, how related maps interact and how to assess the result.

Day-by-day course programme

Day 1: Drivers, maps and file structure

• Import original files and select and validate ECM Titanium drivers.
• Understand map groups, axes, units and graphical views.
• Identify diesel torque, fuel, boost and air-path maps.
• Manage revisions and file comparisons.

Day 2: Diesel performance calibration

• Examine injection quantity, duration, timing and rail pressure.
• Understand torque limitation, air-fuel balance and turbo control.
• Build linked, measured modifications in a supervised project.
• Identify ECU protection strategies and common tuning errors.

Day 3: Professional diesel file workflow

• Complete and review a Stage 1 diesel file exercise.
• Discuss file checksums and OBD/bench read-write methods.
• Interpret example logs and available dyno results.
• Build a checklist for safe file handling and vehicle validation.

ECU platforms and practical files

Proposed examples include Bosch EDC16/EDC17 and MD1 diesel ECU families, subject to driver and training-file availability.
