Session 2: Automated solutions and vehicle functions

• Explore Swiftec’s automated modules and understand how available solutions vary across ECU platforms.
• Investigate supported vehicle functions such as speed limiters, Start/Stop, launch control, exhaust valve operation and related calibration features.
• Understand the application of specialist modules, including torque management, boost sensor calibration and other available functions.
• Apply selected automated solutions to practical ECU-file examples and examine the resulting modifications.
• Discuss the limitations of automated solutions and the importance of verifying compatibility and calibration changes.

Session 3: DTC management and specialist ECU solutions

• Understand how diagnostic trouble codes are identified and managed within supported ECU calibration files.
• Explore Swiftec’s DTC management module and the relationship between fault codes, diagnostic monitoring and ECU functionality.
• Review the range of specialist modules available for diesel and gasoline applications, including emissions-system-related functions.
• Discuss appropriate applications, regulatory considerations and the importance of identifying and resolving underlying vehicle faults.
• Practise comparing original and modified ECU files to evaluate changes made by selected software modules.

Session 4: Practical file development and professional workflows

• Work through supervised ECU-file exercises combining Swiftec’s automated solutions and calibration editing functions.
• Understand how Swiftec can complement existing WinOLS or ECM Titanium tuning projects.
• Explore methods for managing multiple modifications within the same ECU file and checking their compatibility.
• Review file integrity, checksum considerations, calibration revisions and preparation for vehicle programming.
• Establish a repeatable workflow for selecting, applying and reviewing Swiftec solutions within a professional tuning business.

ECU platforms and practical files

Training uses selected diesel and gasoline ECU files to demonstrate Swiftec’s calibration editing functions, DTC management and automated modules.

Practical examples may include Bosch EDC17, MED17 and other supported ECU platforms, depending on suitable training files and available software solutions.

Who should attend?
