What tune does my car have?

Assari · 12-23-2011, 07:33 PM

Hey guys. Bought my car used and the dealer did not know what tune my car is running. Is there any way I can figure out which one is it?

Thanks!

Turn the car on and while on push the cruise control stalk up. If your rpm jumps to 0-1-2-3-4 indicating map, and the control center fully lights up its a Procede. Why do you think it gas a tune?

You have to take a look in the ECU. Or tmap sensor, You also might be shit out of luck and someone flashed the car. If thats the case then it will be hard to figure out how to unflash the car.

Check if there's something attached to the TMAP or in the ECU compartment. If not then get the dealership to flash it back to stock. Then buy a tune

Open up the ECU box and look

Thank you guys for your replies. Haven´t checked the ECU yet, but I checked the TMAP and nothing was attached there. Also tried the cruise control stalk, but nothing happened. Asked the dealer to contact the previous owner and he said that some kind of turbo tuner has been installed

I googled turbotuner and seems like it attaches to the TMAP sensor, but nothing there. I think I have to check the ECU...

Thanks again guys!

the turbo tuner is located near t map....you are probably looking at the wrong place. go to burgertuning.com then go to install and then click jb+....thats essentialy what the turbo tuner is..there are two sensors that look similliar..and the turbotuner will be realy tucked in there so take a look again thuroutlhy

Turn the car on & push the bottom L&R buttons on the steering wheel @ the same time. If the tach moves to a number you have a JBx tune. The number it moves to will tell you what map is running.
