"The Software in Your Control Module is Outdated and Cannot Be Used" Message
Why This Happens
Certain ECMs & TCMs may have outdated software versions that are not supported by VCM Editor. When attempting to tune these modules, you will receive this message:
What Happens Next?
- After clicking OK, VCM Editor will automatically load the latest supported software version for your module.
- You can then make your tuning changes as needed.
- When you write the updated file to the ECM/TCM, it will overwrite the existing software version on the module.
Important Considerations
- This new software version replaces the outdated one, ensuring compatibility with VCM Suite.
- If the ECM/TCM was previously tuned with another device, all previous changes will be lost when writing the new software version.
- If you need to preserve a custom tune, make sure to have a backup before proceeding.
