Course Structure: Five Focused Modules

Module 1: MCM Tuning Strategy 

Elevate your heavy diesel tuning business with structured performance and economy calibration.

Master the Motor Control Module as the foundation of all GHG17 work. This module breaks complex heavy diesel calibration into five targeted, 15-minute lessons.

Lessons:

1.      Core MCM Maps Required for Tuning — MCM map pack orientation and structure. Identify critical map groups before making a single edit.

2.      Performance Tuning Strategy — Torque request, limiters, and supporting maps. Learn how to connect fuel, air, boost, and smoke control into a unified torque strategy.

3.      Economy Tuning Strategy — Improve efficiency based on real-world vehicle duty cycles. Master torque delivery for fleet fuel consumption reduction.

4.      Guided MCM Performance Calibration Modification — Long-form WinOLS screen recording demonstrating targeted performance modifications with exact fuel quantity calculations.

5.      Guided MCM Economy Calibration Modification — Step-by-step economy tuning: torque limiting, pedal request alignment, and targeted rail pressure and SOI changes for combustion efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

·       Navigate MCM map structures with professional reference workflows

·       Deliver true performance through calculated Nm-to-fuel conversions, not lazy percentage increases

·       Engineer fuel economy by shaping torque curves to peak efficiency RPM bands

·       Preserve smooth drivability while building controlled performance files

Module 2: DTC Logic Foundations

Elevate your diagnostic capabilities with structured SPN-based analysis.

Understand how heavy diesel diagnostic systems work before attempting any DTC modifications. This four-lesson module builds a clear foundation for advanced diagnostic work.

Lessons:

1.      Understanding SPN-Based DTC Logic — SPN-based diagnostic logic and ECU fault-monitoring structures. Learn why heavy diesel systems use SPN-based thinking rather than light-vehicle P-codes.

2.      MCM and ACM DTC Responsibility — Distinguish engine-side from aftertreatment-side faults. Build a mental model of controller responsibility before emissions and DTC construction.

3.      DTC Data Relationships — Explore relationships between SPN tables, patch data, and reaction handling. Understand why DTC work involves multiple related data areas, not just one visible table.

4.      Correct DTC Modification Methodology — Establish a controlled, repeatable workflow. Learn the correct sequence of analysis before any DTC modification is attempted.

Key Takeaways:

·       Interpret SPN information before considering any data modification

·       Recognize that a fault code is the visible result of deeper ECU monitoring

·       Understand why complete diagnostic review may require examination of both controllers

·       Apply structured analysis: target-code identification → related data review → controlled testing

Module 3: Building SPN Solutions 

Master practical DTC table construction across MCM and ACM.

Execute hands-on DTC table identification and building using real file data. This four-lesson module trains you to locate, verify, and modify diagnostic structures independently.

Lessons:

1.      Locating and Verifying MCM DTC/SPN Data Regions — Find MCM DTC/SPN and patch-table regions from raw MCM file data using mapped reference projects as guidance, not reliance.

2.      Understanding Tuner-Created MCM DTC/SPN Tables — Build MCM DTC/SPN and patch tables from raw data. Verify alignment and demonstrate practical patching of selected MCM diagnostic entries.

3.      Locating and Verifying ACM DTC/SPN Data — Find ACM DTC/SPN and patch-table regions from raw ACM file data. Verify suspected data and recognize ACM-specific structure and aftertreatment responsibility.

4.      Practical DTC/SPN Solution Methodology — Build and correct ACM DTC/SPN and patch tables. Validate relationships, interpret 65535 handling, and demonstrate practical patching where data supports it.

Key Takeaways:

·       Locate diagnostic data without relying on completed learner-built tables

·       Build accurate DTC/SPN and patch tables from raw file data

·       Verify alignment between related data structures

·       Apply practical patching only where data logically supports the change

Module 4: Emissions Strategy Solutions 

Master EGR, DPF, and SCR strategy identification and integration.

Understand the emissions strategy layer as interconnected map groups across both controllers. This four-lesson module teaches recognition, relationship, and complete solution architecture.

Lessons:

1.      EGR Strategy in the MCM — Identify EGR strategy map groups within the MCM. Understand how EGR control varies between platforms and its relationship with DTC handling and torque behavior.

2.      DPF Strategy Across MCM and ACM — Understand how DPF control distributes across both controllers: soot modelling, regeneration, doser control, pressure, temperature, and diagnostics.

3.      SCR/AdBlue Strategy in the ACM — Identify SCR and AdBlue strategy within the ACM: dosing, pump and valve control, modelling, temperature windows, and diagnostic logic.

4.      Understanding a Complete Emissions Solution — Bring EGR, DPF, and SCR identification together. Use supplied modified files to understand the strategy logic and interconnected changes across both controllers.

Key Takeaways:

·       Recognize map types involved in emissions strategies (hundreds of potential calibration points)

·       Understand MCM and ACM interaction across EGR, DPF, and SCR systems

·       See emissions solutions as combinations of interconnected controls, not isolated changes

·       Use reference outcomes to reinforce method and logic in complete solution development

Module 5: Complete GHG17 Workflow 

Deliver professional, integrated solutions from project prep through final validation.

Bring all four previous modules together into a cohesive professional workflow. This four-lesson capstone module demonstrates how experienced tuners plan, build, and validate complete GHG17 solutions across both controllers.

Lessons:

1.      Workflow Overview for MCM and ACM — Establish structured preparation by separating MCM and ACM responsibilities before editing. Plan customer requirements, divide controller responsibilities, and systematize reference file usage.

2.      Building the MCM Side of the Solution — Execute structured modification and validation. Follow strict sequence: engine tuning → diagnostic structure → emissions logic. Use reference files as validation tools throughout.

3.      Building the ACM Side of the Solution — Manage aftertreatment, SCR, and DPF control strategies. Apply structured map-type recognition and diagnostic handling. Prepare seamless cross-controller integration.

4.      Final Review of the Complete Solution — Perform comprehensive audit across both controllers as a single system. Validate consistency, safety, and alignment with customer requirements. Ensure rigorous cross-checks and clear documentation.

Key Takeaways:

·       Separate MCM and ACM work into logical sequence while understanding their interconnection

·       Treat both controllers as components of one integrated system, not independent files

·       Apply systematic validation to prevent isolated edits and ensure internal consistency

·       Complete professional projects with clear documentation and alignment with original requirements
