MAP & FIRMWARE Management

What Is A Map? 

The  AccessPORT  reprograms  the  tuning  parameters  inside  the  factory  engine  control  unit 

(ECU)using map files, which contain specially written instructions for the AccessPORT to follow 

during  the  reprogramming  process.  A  given  map  file  contains  programming  information 

to  properly  calibrate  the  ECU  for  a  specific  set  of  modifications  to  a  vehicle.  In  addition  to 

calibrating  for  specific  modifications,    maps  are  also  programmed  for  different  uses,  such  as 

improved performance, higher fuel efficiency, alternate fuel grades, anti-abuse (valet) and anti 

theft. Through the use of the AccessPORT and different map files, the ECU can be reprogrammed 

to accommodate the user’s immediate need.

on the map and select “Send to AccessPORT.” Continue this process for all desired maps.
