IQA/IMA CODE PROGRAMMING
An ECU controlled engine needs precise metering of fuel. Due to manufacturing tolerances, each injector
deviates slightly from its idealized behavior. Thus, each injector has a correction factor, which is engraved
on top of it, in the form of a 8-character alphanumeric code , out of which the last character "W" is a
dummy value. This is known as an IQA code/IMA code. For optimal performance of the engine, the ECU
needs to know the IQA code/IMA code of each injector. This information is programmed into the ECU
when the vehicle is manufactured. However, if you need to replace an injector(s), then the IQA code/IMA
code for that new injector has to be updated in the ECU. The cylinder number starts from the right side of
the vehicle.
As a first step, you need to select the cylinder number of the injector being replaced. After the cylinder
number is selected by clicking on the check-button next to the number, the IQA code/IMA code should be
entered in the box provided.
Click the button to the right of the text box. If the Injector code is valid and accepted by the ECU, a
message is displayed, indicating that the operation is performed successfully.
A message “Invalid IQA code” will be displayed , if an incorrect IQA/IMA code is keyed in. IQA codes are
case sensitive.
Programming IQA codes is an extremely important activity. In order to ensure that the correct code has
been entered and that it has been entered in the correct cylinder, SMART tester allows you to verify the
codes that you have entered.
Caution
Even though on the injector, 8 character alphanumeric code is engraved , while writing the IQA
code only the first 7 digits need to be entered
