Definition of Terms

Calibration Update: Some modules are designed to be flashed or reflashed with complete new software packages. This process of reflashing the module is a calibration update.

Programmable Parameters: These are options contained within the existing software. These include items such as tire size, customer preference items and anti-theft options. The current settings are required to be downloaded from an existing module, then uploaded to a new module. Customer preference items can be configured using a diagnostic tool. Programming parameters is very different from updating calibrations as no software is changed only the options already contained in the software.
