TCU Remapping

TCU Remapping

WHAT IS TCU (TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT) REMAPPING?

Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions are normally fitted with a TCU (Transmission Control Unit). The TCU controls all aspects of the transmission’s functionality e.g. gear shift and torque limitation. The TCU works in harmony with the ECU (Engine Control Unit) by sending and receiving real time data across the vehicles network system. When tuning a vehicle, it is often recommend to have the ECU and TCU remapped simultaneously, this ensures both control units continue to work in harmony and will help to fully optimize the performance and driveability of the vehicle.

TCU Remapping

The Benefits

The number of parameters that can be changed is dependant on the application, however here are some of the typical changes:

  • Shift Speeds – Increasing the speed in which the gearbox changes gear.
  • Torque Limiters – Increasing the TCU torque limiters ensures the transmission cannot limit the performance of the engine.
  • Hydraulic Pressure – Increasing the hydraulic pressure can increase clutch clamping pressure  to prevent clutch slip on highly tuned vehicles.
  • Shift Points – Changing the rpm limiter of the engine is often not possible without modifying the TCU software.
  • Some TCU’s have a higher level of manipulation available and advanced options like the following can be activated: Launch Control, Full Manual Mode, Kickdown Delete.

Absolutely 10/10 service, couldn’t be happier. My Landrover drives spot on wish I’d of had it remapped sooner. Very knowledgeable will get all of my work from now on!

Gareth came out to do a tune on my motorhome, arrived when he said, worked his magic, took it out for a test run to check everything was correct and wow, what a difference, no lag now, plenty of extra bhp and torque now from the ducato 2.3 Definitely highly recommend you contact Gareth if you want to get the best performance out of your vehicle.
