Telehandler Tuning and ECU Software
On telehandlers the engine control unit (ECU) software is recalibrated on the machine's own original file. The original software is backed up; compatibility is confirmed by ECU type.
A power remap on the Telehandler recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. On a telehandler the engine feeds both the drivetrain and the boom hydraulics; with more torque in reserve, rpm drops less when manoeuvring with a loaded boom and towing a trailer.
Telehandlers work on farms and sites in short jobs with frequent stops; in these conditions the particulate filter (DPF) cannot clean itself and blocks. With an EGR fault or a NOx sensor fault in the AdBlue (SCR) system the machine enters limp mode. The cause is diagnosed first; the software solution is applied according to the ECU type.
Where is the difference noticed?
- Stacking bales and loading feed
- Manoeuvring and climbing ramps with a loaded boom
- Towing a trailer and roading
