Modifying Target Idle RPM in OBD0 PM7 ECUs
Learn how to modify the target idle RPM in OBD0 PM7 ECU ROMs by locating and adjusting the hex idle target string.
To adjust the target idle RPM in an OBD0 PM7 ECU, you must locate and modify the hex idle target string within the ROM file.
Idle Target Identification
The idle target values are stored as a string of six hexadecimal values representing different engine operating conditions.
Important
All values must be calculated using the OBD0 16-bit RPM formula.
Example Modification
In the PM7FOR6_12-15-02.BIN ROM, the default idle target string is:
0A08 09C4 0964 0A77 09C4 0964
To set a constant target idle of 1000 RPM, replace all six values in the string with the hex equivalent for 1000 RPM:
0753 0753 0753 0753 0753 0753
