Renault K Series Truck Tuning and Power Upgrade

Name: Renault K Series Truck Tuning and Power Upgrade
Brand: Renault

The Renault K Series is Renault's construction truck range. The engine control unit (ECU) software is recalibrated on the vehicle's own original file; the original software is backed up.

Renault K Series power remap

A power remap on the Renault K Series recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. A truck engine mostly works at low revs under full load; with more torque in reserve, revs drop less when pulling away loaded and on gradients. The calibration stays within the safety margin of the engine and driveline.

Renault K Series DPF, EGR and AdBlue fault solution

Short distances and frequent stop-start work in city distribution and on construction sites make it hard for the particulate filter (DPF) to regenerate. With a blocked filter, an EGR fault or a NOx sensor fault in the AdBlue (SCR) system, the vehicle goes into reduced-power mode. The source of the fault is diagnosed first; the software solution is applied according to the ECU type.

ECU and compatibility for the Renault K Series

Services with a verified solution for Renault in our library: Stage 1 Remap, Speed Limiter (Vmax) Removal, DPF Delete, EGR Delete and AdBlue / SCR Delete. The control units we work on in Renault vehicles include BOSCH EDC MS6.3, TRW VOLVO EMS2.2, TRW VOLVO EMS2.3 and BOSCH EDC16C41. The same model can carry a different ECU depending on build year and engine option, so we confirm compatibility for the Renault K Series from a photo of the ECU label or from the file read out.

Where is the difference noticed on the Renault K Series?

Pulling away and climbing with a full body
Site and quarry roads
Distribution work with frequent stops
Vehicles running a crane, mixer or tipper body

Frequently asked questions

Which software services are available for the Renault K Series?

Services with a verified solution for Renault in our library: Stage 1 Remap, Speed Limiter (Vmax) Removal, DPF Delete, EGR Delete and AdBlue / SCR Delete. We confirm on the file which of them apply to the ECU fitted to your Renault K Series.

How much power does the Renault K Series gain with a remap?

The gain depends on the engine option, the ECU type and the vehicle's power level within its range. Rather than quote a fixed figure, we read the original file first and tell you what increase is possible.

How do I find out which ECU my Renault K Series has?

The exact type is read from the label on the ECU or with a diagnostic tool. A photo of the label and the model year of the vehicle are enough.

How long does the job take, and can it be done on site?

Most ECUs are read and written through the diagnostic socket and the job is completed the same day; some units are removed and worked on the bench. Contact us for on-site service.

Can the original software be restored?

Yes. The original software is archived and the Renault K Series can be returned to its factory setting on request.

Why does the vehicle cut power and limit speed when there is an AdBlue fault?

When the emission system detects a fault, the ECU first gives a warning; if the fault is not fixed it reduces torque, and at the next stage it limits the vehicle speed. This is how the system is designed to behave. Power returns once the cause is fixed or a software solution matching the ECU type is applied.

Why does DPF regeneration not complete?

Regeneration needs the exhaust temperature to stay high for a while; city distribution, frequent stop-start and long idling do not provide that. Faults in the differential pressure sensor, the EGR or the injectors also stop regeneration. The soot load and sensor values are read first; depending on the cause we recommend a forced regeneration, cleaning or a software solution.

Does the EGR job give the vehicle more power?

The EGR job is not a power remap; no power gain should be expected from it alone. Because the loss of pull and the power reduction caused by a faulty EGR disappear, the vehicle returns to its factory output. If more power is wanted, a Stage 1 remap is applied separately.
