positioning frame
Adapter to place on some of the ECUs when using the positioning frame
(sold separately).
Backup copy of the data stored in the engine control unit, made to prevent
an accidental total loss of these data.
Procedure to write the backup file to the engine control unit, thus returning
the engine control unit to the state it was in when it was backed up.
Procedure to enable / disable serial communication on the engine control
unit.
Operation that serves to verify the integrity of data in the engine control
unit. The checksum correction is performed on each modified file before

electrically, even in-circuit.
Reprogrammable memory, with operation similar to the EEPROM but in
Flash technology.
Electronic processing and control device integrated on a single integrated
circuit.
File to which the tool records chronologically all reading and programming
activities during the communication with the engine control unit.
File containing data (including maps) for engine management, stocked in the
engine control unit.
Files created from the original file by making variations on engine
management data; to be rewritten to the engine control unit
Program embedded in the tool that allows its working.
Procedure to obtain the identification data of the engine control unit.
Manuals embedded in the K-Suite software, automatically displayed each
