Introduction
Flash reprogramming allows the ECU software to be updated without replacing the ECU. Flash calibration updates for specific vehicle models/ECUs are
released as field-fix procedures described in individual service bulletins. This bulletin details the Techstream ECU flash reprogramming process and
