INTRODUCTION & PRESENTATION

What you will learn

Analyze the hexadecimal files of the calculators using the interpretation of hex dumps, the use of specialized software, and the calculation of checksums, with the aim of securely manipulating raw data.

This section aims to provide the necessary technical foundations to interpret and manipulate the raw files extracted from the engine controllers.

The objectives are:

Discover and understand the nature of hexadecimal files used in ECUs.

Identify the possible types of reading and know how to interpret a hex dump file.

Know the structure of files and understand the associated functions.

Design adaptations related to the immobilizer (immobilizer) or perform an immobilization-off via software or by dump analysis.

Use the software Rocket Dump and AARK Kommander for extraction and interpretation.

Master calculations and corrections of checksums to ensure data consistency.

Edit the files of the calculators using mapping software and hexadecimal editors, in order to modify engine or transmission parameters in accordance with the intervention objectives.

C6.1

Make file changes with Swiftec mapping software

C6.2

Make file modifications with the Winols mapping software

C6.3

Make file modifications with the ECM Titanium mapping software

This section focuses on modifying ECU files for optimization or specific adaptations.

The developed skills include:

Knowing how to use mapping software and hex editors to modify files.

Make simple comparisons and perform partial or complete copies of maps.

Choose the appropriate programming software based on the desired intervention (Step 1, switching to Flex E85, DPF/EGR/SCR removal…).

Use:

Swiftec for the automatic removal of anti-pollution elements and basic settings.

WinOLS for advanced editing and custom map creation.

ECM Titanium for quick and assisted interventions on engine control units.

Learn to leverage a damos (drivers) and create a mappack from a reference file

Design adaptable mappings: Flexible fuel E85, Gasoline engine, Diesel engine

Pedagogical approach

20-hour module focused on advanced engine mapping modification skills and mastery of binary data.

Progression in 2 phases: understanding ECU files (C5) followed by expert modification (C6)
Progressive learning of mapping, from reading to autonomous creation
Mastery of the software ecosystem (Winols, ECM Titanium, Swiftec)
Adapted practical cases (gasoline, Diesel, E85) and securing interventions

90-hour active training: intensive practice and gradual empowerment in engine control programming.

Spiral progression: fundamentals followed by advanced skills
Projects on real ECUs and professional cases (stage 1, E85)
50 hours in-person (hands-on, demos) + 40 hours e-learning (theory, tutorials)
Mastery of tools (Kess, Winols...) and security (checksums, compliance)

Phase 1

Day 1 to 2 — Understanding and analysis

Decode the structure of ECU files

Mastering hexadecimal reading and dump analysis.

Foundations of mapping

Hexadecimal reading, ECU file structure, identification of critical areas (immo, checksums). Laying the groundwork for intervention in mapping modification.

Phase 2

Day 3 to 4 — Electronic Intervention

Manipulation and identification

Develop welding skills and recognition.

Technical intervention

Manipulating real estate files, precision soldering/desoldering, transponder identification (HITAG, MEGAMOS). Acquire technical dexterity.

Phase 3

Day 5 — Application and Security

Real engine optimization cases

Validate complete operational mastery.

Professional projects

Essence/Diesel cartographies, E85 conversions, Stage 1 optimizations, safety protocols. Ensure compliance and traceability.
