Vehicle Programming

Drive Smarter, Drive Better: Reprogram Your Vehicle's Brain

When Did Your Car Last Receive a Programming Update?

If you have a home computer and smartphone with the latest updates installed, isn't it time to have an updated car?

A vehicle programming service (also known as a flashing service) updates your engine control modules (ECM).

Reasons to flash or reprogram a vehicle include:

Install Manufacturer Updates: The vehicle manufacturer may release updates that adjust the algorithm to improve its overall performance. It's possible for you to miss notifications about these updates and not realize your car, truck, or SUV has one or more available.

Correct Faulty Error Lights: Reprogramming can address faulty dashboard warning lights. It's important for your vehicle to provide you with correct information. If everything is good but the warning light won't turn off, a service technician can check your vehicle and program it if needed.

Update Overall Performance / Older Vehicles: If you enjoy optimizing vehicle performance, computer programming is one way to ensure your vehicle is in top condition—especially if your car is more than a few years old. Over time and from normal operation, it's possible for a vehicle to become more sensitive. A programming service can readjust your vehicle to its factory settings.
