A new ECU does not contain programming until a system like the Centurion installs it. A mechanic can now keep an inventory of blank ECUs and program them to replace bad ECUs, all without leaving the shop.
NOTE: If the ECU is locked by another product, you will NOT be able to perform any active settings changes as we will not be able to communicate with the ECU.
This feature allows the user to input the basic programming into a new blank ECU. This programming includes a VIN and a stage 1 base map download. Any further tuning or map adjustments will require a tuning software or tool such as Direct Link. Once an ECU has been programmed and the user has closed Centurion or connected to another motorcycle, that ECU is locked to that VIN. Please ensure all values and selections are correct before exiting the program.
