INTRODUCTION & PRESENTATION

What you will learn

C1

Analyzing the operation of an engine or transmission calculator through the identification of its roles, its interactions with other vehicle systems, and the study of data extraction methods, in order to define an appropriate intervention strategy.

C2

Identify the types of memories and the architecture of computers through the analysis of EEPROMs, microcontrollers, and electronic components, in order to recognize the elements to be processed and adapt the intervention method.

C3

Interpret the structure of the internal files of calculators through the analysis of extracted data and the identification of functional areas, in order to understand their assignments and prepare modifications.

C4

Use calculator reprogramming tools through the handling of professional equipment and software, while following programming procedures, in order to carry out a reliable and compliant intervention.

This training module is designed to provide a gradual and comprehensive mastery of engine control units (ECUs), from their structure to their programming, including the analysis of their components and the use of professional industry tools.

It has four main parts:

C1 focused on ECU data extraction and management

C2 dedicated to the different types of memories and component recognition

C3 dedicated to the internal structure of files and their roles

C4 focused on the handling of reprogramming equipment and software and supervising your interventions.

Pedagogical approach

Pedagogical approach

Intensive 1-day module offering a practical and comparative training on the 3 main reprogramming interfaces on the market.

  • Comparative approach to the tools (features, limitations, costs)

  • Intensive practical learning with 3 workshops (Autotuner, Kess V3, Flex)

  • Pedagogy through demonstration, guided reproduction, and debriefing

  • Strong decision-making dimension to optimize your investment

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 - Comparison and Practice

Autotuner, Kess V3 and Flex

Master the 3 professional interfaces of the market.

Intensive comparative training

Manipulating the 3 interfaces in OBD, Bench, and Boot. Understand the advantages, limitations, and coverage of each solution to choose the appropriate tool.

Phase 2

Day 1 — Handling and Comparison

Concrete cases for each interface

Practice in real intervention conditions.

Guided hands-on workshops
