ECU Manager / ECU Manuals

ECU Manager File Extensions
When ECU manager saves the map from the Haltech ECU, it saves the map with
a Haltech specific file extension.
The File extension can be broken down as follows:
Example File : xxxx.hwrx0105 -112
Later map versions cannot be loaded into ECU's with earlier firmware versions.
ECU Manager will upgrade earlier map versions when loading into ECU's with later
firmware versions.
ECU Manager upgrades maps between versions where equivalent settings are
available. However, new settings not in the original map, will be substituted with
values from the new version's default map.
WHENEVER ECU MANAGER CONVERTS YOUR ECU MAP, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
CHECK YOUR MAP SETTINGS TO ENSURE THAT ALL THE APPROPRIATE
SETTINGS HAVE BEEN CONVERTED CORRECTLY.
