WinOLS tutorial of remap dpf off egr off swirl flaps off for beginners
Here are the ECU tuning file - WinOLS guides to start, find EGR, find maps manually, add axes data, remap, dpf off, egr off, swirl flaps off, etc. Enjoy.
WinOLS price: �13.99

Starting with WINOLS cracked
The first Winols screen looks like this.

Click on Project to open the drop down menu shown below.

A new window and a pop up will appear. Click Ok to create your new project.

A new pop up will ask what format your project will be in..
You need to choose the format that suits your stored file.
If you have a single file, you probably want the first one (Binary)
If your file looks like two files, you want the second one. (Two binary files eg HiLow.)

The next screen will be the standard windows screen for opening any file on a computer. Navigate to where-ever you have your saved file and click open.
A new screen will appear asking you to give details of the file.

Winols will have automatically entered any data it has gained from the file.
Check that it has identified the ECU producer. E.g Bosch and also the ECU build, if possible.
Click �OK�.
After a few seconds your file name will appear in the left hand window.
This will be followed by �Hexdump� , �My maps� and �Potential maps�
If you click on Potential maps, a list of Auto discovered maps will appear.
The actual hexdump will appear in the large right hand window.
Any auto discovered maps will have an outline drawn round them along with a name and two numbers. Eg. 8 x 10.
You will NOT see any YELLOW highlights like in this picture.
How to find EGR in Winols full version:

At this point it is worth checking the Winols set up.
Winols should have automatically set some parameters for you according to the opened file.
If you imported a 16 bit file, 16 bit button will be highlighted on the toolbar.
If the hexdump opened in hexadecimal (FFFF, 1C2A etc) the FF button will be highlighted.
If you prefer counting in Tens, click the 255 button to highlight it and get a hexdump like the one shown above.
Check the format that the hexdump was assembled in. (HILO or LOHI) You can see this on the button under the green �P� button.
The example below shows LOHI.

Don�t forget this 16 bit and 255 detail.. It may trip you up later if you don�t watch out for it. (See Map properties pop up)
You can now click on any auto discovered potential map in the left hand window.
A 3D image of the potential map will open. It will be in a new pop up window.
This has been resized to fill the whole right hand window in the picture below.

At the bottom of the picture you will see: Text, 2D & 3D.
If you click Text, the image will change to text as shown below.

If you click 2D, the image will change to a line graph as shown below.

As a beginner it is easier to identify any obvious 3D maps and so you may want to stick with the 3D view until you learn to recognise a few maps.
If you close a map (Red X) you will be asked if you want to add the map to �Your maps�. If it�s one you want to keep, Name it and click Yes.
To name your map. Double click the map to open the �Properties� pop up.
You will see a box called �Name�.
It probably has a name like Bosch 16 bit. 8 x 10. Change this to a name that suits you.

The rest of the properties for the map depend on how good you are at recognising the map.
The one shown in these pictures is the Mass Air Flow map. Often called EGR map.
If you are familiar with �2D graphs, the 3D map may be a bit confusing.
Winols doesn�t highlight the X and Y axes in the hexdump. It highlights the Z axis figures.
This can be confusing because the 3D map will always contain the highlighted Z axis numbers but the X and Y axis numbers can be missing.
When this happens, winols uses 1, 2, 3, 4 etc on the axes for X and Y.
Even if the X and Y axes are correctly numbered, it is likely that they will not make any sense when you first see them.
With luck, Winols has automatically entered numbers onto the axes.
These should be FIVE digit numbers. Eg. 12345.
This poses a new problem.
12345 could 1,2345 rpm for engine speed.
12345 could be 12.345 % for duty cycle.
12345 could be 12.345 grams per stroke for mass air flow.
12345 could be 12.345 grams per stroke for fuel Injected Quantity.
12345 could be 12.345 degrees of Crankshaft Rotation for injection Duration or injection Advance.
If the map is a well known one, you may recognise it and be able to look up what the axes should be.
E.g.
The EGR map will be.
X axis: Injection Quantity in milligrams per stroke.
Y axis: Engine speed in RPM
Z axis: Mass Air Flow in milligrams per stroke.
The first �map properties� page (shown in the picture above) is for title and Z axis so the Z axis details go here.
You can see that I have entered
Description: INJECTION QUANTITY
Unit: mg/stroke
Data source, start address, values, number format, signature byte etc are usually automatically entered by Winols.
This is where auto entry can trip you up�..see later comments.
At this point the mg/stroke values on your Z axis are still based on FIVE digit numbers like; 10000, 11000 etc
The mg/stroke scale should read mainly �hundreds� so 9000 on the Z axis is actually 900 mg/stroke. NOT 9000.
I haven�t bothered to correct this in the picture below so it reads 8000, 9000, 10000 etc.
To correct this. Go to the �Factor� box which reads 1.00000 and change the value to 0.1.
This will change 8000, 9000, 10,000 into 800, 900, 1000 etc.
Don�t touch the �offset� box. You will need to change that for some values, but not this one.
So now you can go through the �Properties� pop up and fill in the details for Map properties, Z axis and name.
Check to make sure that the Values box is the same as the main toolbar setting.. �16 bit LOHI� in this example
Check the Number format box is the same as the main toolbar setting. �Decimal (Base 10 system)� in this example
Then complete the X - axis details as below.
Again I haven�t bothered to change the factor for mg/stroke. It should read 3, 4, 5, 6 etc not 300, 400, 500. So you might want to change the factor to 0.01.

Then the Y axis details as below. (Factor can stay as 1.0)

If your map looks exactly how you expect in terms of shape, axes labels, axes scales then you have finished one map.
Click OK.
Sometimes when you click ok the map becomes a complete mess. Don�t panic. It means something is wrong in one or more of the properties.
Just open the properties popup and search for your mistake.
How to find MAPS in Winols manually:.
Anyone using Winols software will tell you not to rely on the automatic map search. You will never learn about Winols and maps if you try to rely on the automatic search.
