EcoOBD2 is engineered to help your vehicle achieve improved fuel economy and reduce emissions. This plug-and-drive device is designed for straightforward installation, compatible with all cars manufactured from 1996 onwards that utilize OBD2 protocols. By recalibrating your car’s Engine Control Unit (ECU), EcoOBD2 optimizes fuel consumption based on your driving habits after approximately 200 km of driving.
Understanding How EcoOBD2 Enhances Fuel Efficiency
The EcoOBD2 chip tuning box works by creating a new map within your car’s ECU to minimize fuel consumption. As you drive, EcoOBD2 continuously refines this map, adapting to your driving style to maximize fuel savings. This intelligent adjustment process ensures that the device is always working to optimize your vehicle’s performance for economy.
What is the EcoOBD2 Chip Tuning Box?
EcoOBD2 is a chip tuning box designed to plug directly into your vehicle’s OBD2 connector, offering a simple solution to decrease fuel consumption. Upon connection, EcoOBD2 receives real-time data from the car’s ECU. It then intelligently adjusts parameters such as boost pressure, fuel quantity, and injection timing to achieve better fuel efficiency. Importantly, EcoOBD2 operates within the engine’s tolerance and manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring it does not cause any damage or negative effects on your car’s factory settings. It’s also designed to be easily reversible – simply unplug EcoOBD2 to revert your vehicle to its original settings.
EcoOBD2 is engineered to unlock your car’s hidden potential for fuel saving, offering:
- Up to 15% improvement in fuel economy
Using EcoOBD2 is remarkably simple. The installation process is designed to be user-friendly, ensuring anyone can easily set up the device in their car.
Step-by-Step EcoOBD2 Installation Guide
To properly install and calibrate your EcoOBD2 device, follow these instructions carefully:
-
Turn off and Remove Keys: Begin by switching off your car’s ignition and removing the car key from the ignition. This ensures safety during the installation process.
-
Locate the OBD2 Connector: Find the OBD2 connector in your vehicle. If you are unsure of its location, refer to the diagram below or your car’s user manual. Typically, it is located in the areas indicated in the image.
-
Plug in EcoOBD2: Once you’ve located the OBD2 port, firmly plug the EcoOBD2 device into the connector. Ensure it is securely fitted.
-
Ignition Stage One: Insert the key back into the ignition and turn it to the first stage. This is the position right before you start the engine, activating the car’s electronics. Do not start the engine yet.
-
Reset Button Activation: Locate the reset button on the EcoOBD2 device. Press and hold this button for approximately 5 seconds. After releasing the button, wait for 30-54 seconds. During this time, EcoOBD2 establishes communication and connection with your car’s ECU.
-
Start the Engine: After waiting for the specified time, start your car’s engine as you normally would.
-
Adaptive Learning Drive: EcoOBD2 will now begin to recognize your vehicle and your driving habits. It will take approximately 200 km (or 150 miles) of driving for EcoOBD2 to fully adjust itself to optimally match your car for enhanced fuel saving. During this period, drive as you normally would to allow the device to learn your driving style effectively.
EcoOBD2 works by modifying the signals from the ECU, which in turn adjusts the entire fuel injection map. Unlike permanent remapping, EcoOBD2 offers a non-permanent, easily reversible tuning solution. Simply unplugging the device will restore your car to its factory settings. EcoOBD2 is designed with engine protection and is considered a safe and cost-effective tuning option. It is built using Surface Mount Device (SMD) technology on a printed circuit board, ensuring high quality and reliability.
Determining OBD2 Compatibility
OBD2, or On-Board Diagnostics version 2, is a standardized system mandatory for:
- Cars sold in the USA after January 1, 1996
- Cars sold in the European Union after January 1, 2001
- Diesel engine cars sold after January 1, 2003
Most modern vehicles will have an OBD2 port. If your car falls within these manufacturing dates, it is highly likely to be compatible with EcoOBD2.
Packing List:
- EcoOBD2 Chip Tuning Box Interface
- User Manual
