EcoOBD2 is engineered as a user-friendly Plug & Drive device designed to enhance fuel economy and decrease emissions. Simple to install, EcoOBD2 seamlessly connects to your car’s OBD2 connector and is compatible with vehicles manufactured from 1996 onwards. Operating on OBD2 protocols, it recalibrates your car’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). After approximately 200 km of driving, EcoOBD2 intelligently adapts to your vehicle and driving habits, continuously optimizing the ECU for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Understanding EcoOBD2 and its Function
But what exactly does EcoOBD2 do? By analyzing your driving patterns, EcoOBD2 creates a revised map within your car’s ECU to minimize fuel consumption. As you accumulate mileage, EcoOBD2 refines this map, tailoring itself to your vehicle for optimal fuel savings.
EcoOBD2 is essentially a Chip Tuning Box that plugs into your car’s OBD2 port to cut down on fuel usage. Upon connection, it receives data from the car’s ECU. Using this information, EcoOBD2 fine-tunes boost pressure, fuel quantity, injection timing, and pressure to reduce fuel consumption effectively. Crucially, the EcoOBD2 Chip Tuning Box operates within the manufacturer’s specified engine tolerances, ensuring it works safely and effectively without exceeding engine limits. It unlocks your car’s inherent efficiency without causing damage to the engine or ECU, nor does it negatively impact factory settings. The changes made by EcoOBD2 are not permanent; simply unplugging the device from the OBD2 connector reverts your car to its original factory settings.
EcoOBD2 is designed to tap into your car’s hidden potential, offering:
- Fuel Savings of up to 15%
EcoOBD2 is remarkably straightforward to use.
Step-by-Step EcoOBD2 Setup Guide
Setting up EcoOBD2 is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to get started:
- Turn off the ignition and remove the car key.
- Locate the OBD2 connector in your vehicle and plug in the EcoOBD2 device.
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the first stage (do not start the engine).
- Press the reset button on the EcoOBD2 for about 5 seconds. After releasing, wait for approximately 30-54 seconds. This allows EcoOBD2 to communicate and establish a connection with the ECU.
- Start the engine.
- Drive as usual. EcoOBD2 will automatically recognize your vehicle and driving habits over the first 200 km (150 miles). It will then adjust its settings to perfectly match your car for maximum fuel efficiency.
EcoOBD2 works by modifying the signal from the ECU, which in turn adjusts the entire fuel injection map. A key advantage of EcoOBD2 Chip Tuning Box over traditional remapping is its easy removal and the ability to revert to factory settings simply by unplugging it. EcoOBD2 offers a cost-effective and safe tuning solution. Remapping, on the other hand, is a permanent and often more expensive alteration. EcoOBD2 includes an engine protection function and is designed to be completely safe for your vehicle’s engine. Manufactured using SMD technology on a printed circuit board, EcoOBD2 Chip Tuning Boxes are built to high quality standards.
OBD2 Compatibility: Is Your Car Ready for EcoOBD2?
On-Board Diagnostics, or OBD2, is a computer system standard in all light-duty vehicles and trucks sold in the USA from 1996 onwards, as mandated by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. OBD2 systems are designed to monitor the performance of key engine components, particularly those related to emission control.
OBD2 is mandatory for cars:
- Sold in the USA after January 1, 1996
- Sold in the European Union after January 1, 2001
- With diesel engines sold after January 1, 2003
