Why are there multiple ECM Definition Files for the same Cadillac cars?
Unlike most other GM vehicles the calibrations used for these cars changed from calibration to calibration so that the locations of the calibration parameters in the calibration (.bin) files moved from calibration to calibration in many cases. When the calibration parameter locations change or different calibration parameters are used a new ECM Definition is required. To determine which of the Cadillac ECM Definition Files you’ll need depends on the specific calibration you are working on. The calibration is identified by the Broadcast code (four letters) which is located on the ECM label and sometimes also on the Memcal. Compare your Broadcast codes with the ones listed for each of the Cadillac ECM Definition Files to find the correct one. If you have a Broadcast code that is not listed please contact us for more information.
