đŸš©What is “ECU CLONING”?

ECU CLONING is simply transferring the ECU file from an ECU to another. This method is done for a variety of reasons but doing so is not as simple as spoken of. The presence of various locks and data in the ECU, as well as the immobilizer system, will make this difficult to perform.

💬Why is “ECU CLONING” DONE?

Generally, ECU CLONING is done for transferring data and starting a vehicle with the new ECU system.
As mentioned, this can be done for a variety of reasons, for instance, hardware issues in the ECU, the loss of the vehicle's key code by the owner and the company's lack of access to the key's code for retrieval, having two ECUs for special cases (race and etc.), are the most common reasons for ECU cloning .As well as the reasons above, there are other common reasons; take this into consideration:
A sudden start or turn off might have occurred in your vehicle, in this case, you are most probably facing an ECU damage and need the ECU CLONING.
But engine's sudden start and turn off cannot be the only ECU damage sign; many people have experienced the ECU damage or loss by confiding their ECUs to non-experts for remap. In case of such problem, ECM, PCM and FICM's modules might as well, face some problems.

💬How is The “ECU CLONING” Done?

From trucks and tractors to boats, motor cycles and vehicles and any other devices with the ECU, this method can be used for all of the items above.
As mentioned, each ECU is coded for a Vehicle with specific VIN, as a result, ECU CLONING can't be performed with simple and accessible tools.
In this method, it's extremely vital that all details and information are correctly detected by special devices and then, transferred.

💬Advantages and Disadvantages of The “ECU CLONING” Method:

ECU CLONING is not an optional process, so it can't be performed by vehicle owner's demand or the vehicle's performance upgrade.
In fact, you are most probably facing an issue if you demand the ECU CLONING! Facing this problem may force you into ECU CLONING so you won't have to deal with other problems or more expenses. That is the major reason why we can't name specific advantages or disadvantages for ECU CLONING (however, lowering the expenses is a significant advantage of the ECU CLONING method.
