Technical Concepts Explained

MPC562 Processor: A powerful 32-bit microcontroller from the PowerPC family, specifically designed for automotive powertrain applications requiring high-speed data processing and reliability.
Torque-Based Management: A control philosophy where the ECU calculates all engine functions (ignition, fuel, air) based on a requested torque value rather than simple sensor-to-output tables.
Flash Memory (MPC562): The internal storage area of the processor where the calibration data and operating system are kept; tuning involves reading and writing to this memory segment.
