So, what can the two programs do?
  • PCMTUNER:
It is mainly used to see the wiring diagram. It can be updated online.
   
Operation path:
ECU OPERATIONS>> VEHICLE TYPE>> Car brand>> car model>> Show>> Bench>> INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The definition of cables is different for different devices, so the wiring diagram inside is not universal for all devices.

  • PCMflash:
It is mainly used for reading and writing ECU. You can open it in PCM Tuner program or directly run the PCM Flash icon on the desktop.

Operation path:
ECU OPERATIONS>> VEHICLE TYPE>> Car brand>> car model>> Show>> Bench>>
READ and WRITE>> Select the ECU type>> Identification>> Read
Read out the ECU data and save the file.

Note: PCM flash upgrade requires a new dongle. The version of the dongle corresponds to the version of the PCMTuner software, and the new version requires a new dongle.
