Does Flashing BMW ECU Affect the Car?

[Josie]

Flashing the car's ECU does have an impact: 1. After flashing the ECU, the car's requirement for fuel quality becomes higher: If low-quality gasoline is used, it can damage the vehicle. 2. Higher temperature requirements: After flashing the ECU, the engine operates overclocked, and without an excellent cooling system, it can affect the engine's lifespan. 3. 4S stores may refuse warranty service: For vehicles with flashed ECUs, 4S stores can refuse to provide warranty coverage. More related information is as follows: 1. Operation: The operation of a car engine is controlled by the car's computer (i.e., the ECU). 2. Control: The ECU controls the engine's air intake, fuel injection amount, ignition timing, etc., thereby determining the engine's operational efficiency, power, torque, etc. 3. Recording: The engine records information such as air intake, fuel injection amount, and ignition timing under various conditions like speed, gear, load, and temperature in a database format within the ECU. This database is called "M.A.P."
