Let’s start with the so-called EGR valve, that is, exhaust gas recirculation. It is found on many models to improve their environmental performance. The main problem of the node is that over time the valve becomes clogged with soot, begins to “stick” and the car stalls when idling or just moving.
Replacing valves is expensive. Therefore, the service “fills in” a new “firmware” so that the engine control module no longer “sees” the EGR. After that, the motor runs without interruption and the valve acts as a simple plug.
In addition, poking around in the firmware is simply necessary when, for example, removing a catalytic converter, switching off urea in diesel engines or removing a particulate filter. All this is done in used cars, which causes a lot of problems for owners. For example, buying an expensive catalytic converter.
Recently, the procedure for increasing the engine idle speed is gaining popularity. Gradually, this is becoming popular with owners of cars with small engines. And since we have crossovers with three-cylinder engines, such a chip tuning is guaranteed success.
The fact is that the three-cylinder engine is difficult to balance. As a result, the whole car seems to have chills. And constant vibrations are companions of many problems. Fasteners of plastic interior parts suffer from “tremor”. Over time, this leads to the appearance of “crickets”. Shaking breaks the contacts of the connectors, the rubber pipes of the cooling system wear out prematurely, and even the wiring is erased.
By increasing the speed through chip tuning, vibrations are almost completely removed. But the fuel consumption is slightly more. However, this is a very small price to pay for comfort and an increase in the number of car units.
By the way, this procedure is also useful for cars with a CVT. It removes potential problems associated with low working fluid pressure, which occurs during winter cold starts.
