ya it is all that oter crap we want to know about
and do you plug it in program and then unplug?

I am not sure about all the features, but yes, you program your settings, plug it in, then the horn honks and you remove the programmer. From what I have heard, the additional features are to get rid of some of the idiot lights for the swaybar, don't know what else.

You unplug it after your settings are to your liking.

A little more information...
 

The days of counting teeth in speedometer drives to correct for gear ratio changes and tire size are long gone. The electronic age has arrived and has made dialing in our Jeep JK Wranglers much easier, if we have the right tools.

One of those tools is the American Expedition Vehicle (AEV) ProCal Module. The ProCal allows easy calibration of gear ratio, tire size, the tire pressure threshold of the TPMS, and other useful functions. The ProCal Module uses DIP switches to program settings, just like our older analog garage door openers did for security settings. The 9 switches are pushed either up or down in sequence to program. The first three switches set the function being addressed, while the next six are set according to the programming needed. It sounds much more complicated than it is.

The ProCal allows calibration of tire sizes from 24" to 54" in diameter and gear ratios from 3.07:1 to 5.67:1. These ranges are much greater than any other JK programmer on the market today. It's important that the JK's PCM know the correct tire diameter and gear ratio because, as AEV puts it, "The ESP uses vehicle speed along with individual sensors that measure acceleration both front to rear and side to side. ESP functions by calculating how much steering angle the user inputs and how fast the vehicle is going and can therefore calculate how much side to side acceleration should occur. If the side to side acceleration is less than what the ESP predicts, that means the vehicle is sliding (just like you can feel when a vehicle is sliding) and it will try to correct the situation by applying specific brakes at each wheel and/or reducing throttle. If the tire size and gear ratio values are incorrect, the calculations the ESP system processes will also be incorrect. Lifted vehicles are more prone to inadvertent ESP activation, because most either do not have the steering wheel centered, the speedometer is wrong or the steering has been modified in such a way to change the ESP parameters."



The ProCal uses DIP switches to easily program settings. The switches are pushed either up or down, depending on the calibration required. AEV supplies a card that gives all switch positions.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) mandated by Federal law is a giant pain for those of us who run low pressure off-road or want to run optimal highway pressure. The ProCal allows setting the threshold where the TPMS sounds an alarm anywhere from 0 to 31 psi. This is wonderful! Now, we no longer have to run the factory-required 37 psi all the time if we want the warning light and chime to stay off.

JK Wranglers have a one-touch lane change feature where the signal flashes three times with just a touch of the turn signal stalk. We like this feature, but if you don't, you can disable it with the ProCal. Daytime running lamps can be turned on and can be set to run high beams, low beams, parking lights, European setting (whatever that is), or off. If you've removed your SmartBar the Rubicon electronic swaybar, the swaybar light on your dash stays on. The ProCal can deactivate the SmartBar system to eliminate the warning light.

When you replace the PCM, such as in a Hemi swap, the JK's drive-by-wire throttle has to be recalibrated and paired with the PCM. You can perform this function with the ProCal. The ProCal can also set up a new PCM with your vehicle's V.I.N. so the PCM will work. Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be cleared with the ProCal.



The ProCal plugs into the JK's diagnostic port on the driver's side. After each setting, the horn honks twice to let you know calibration was successful. As you can see, the ProCal's compact size makes it easy to store in the glovebox or center console.
If you winch or weld in the field, you know that the JK's idle speed is really too low for power-sensitive tools. You can temporarily raise the JK's idle speed up to 2000 rpm with the ProCal. After ten minutes, if not reset, the idle will return to normal.

Finally, for those who've lifted their JK's or fooled with the drag link and tie rod, you can enter the ProCal's Wheel Centering Mode that indicates to the user exactly where zero is on the internal sensor. When in this mode, both turn signal and high-beam indicators will light, showing that you're dead center. This helps an alignment technician (or, you on an alignment rack) dial your JK in perfectly. By having your steering exactly centered, ESP issues won't be popping up when you don't need them.

The AEV ProCal Module is small and easily stored in the glovebox or center console. With the wide range of calibrations allowed, we think the ProCal may be one of the hottest items introduced for the JK Wrangler since its inception.

There we go thanks Army Cop. Looks like a nice piece of kit. When my major mods happen in 2010 I will be getting one. I like the winching function.

But how exactly do you raise the idle? Do you have to plug the unit in with the correct dip switches thrown in order to get high idle?

I don't know that for sure, call David at Northridge Monday, he has one to play with right now.

AEV ProCal Module for Jeep Wrangler JK

This powerful, yet affordable tool, allows users to recalibrate their vehicle’s computer for a variety of useful benefits. Among those benefits are speedometer correction to compensate for tire size changes, daytime running lamp activation, engine idle speed options for improved winching performance and even reduced pressure thresholds that are TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) compatible.

Included with the ProCal Module is an easy-to-read code card that makes setting the tool a snap. Once set, the process of recalibrating the vehicle’s computer is as simple as plugging the tool into the vehicle’s OBD port and waiting for the horn to honk. The ProCal Module can then be stored in the vehicle’s glovebox until stock or new custom settings are needed. AEV’s ProCal Module is currently available for the Jeep JK Wrangler.

The AEV ProCal Module allows the user to reprogram several factory parameters including:
•Tire Size (2 modes: 24-38.75” and 39-53.75")
•Gear Ratio
•One Touch Lane Change
•Daytime Running Lamps (Low Beam, Fog Light, or Turn Signal location options)
•Low Tire Pressure Indicator
•Automatic Smart Bar (ASBS) Indicator Disable (after Smart Bar removal)
•Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes

While the module is plugged into the OBD port, the ProCal Module can also:
•Set a Temporary Extended Idle (up to 2000 rpm)
•Provide a Dead Center Steering Wheel Indication
•Clear Diagnostic Touble Codes (DTCs)/ Turn off the Check Engine Light

For AEV HEMI Builders Kit customers, the ProCal Module will:
•Program the vehcile’s VIN into the new PCM Controller
•Program the Pedal Calibration and Tolerance

The ProCal Module is only designed to be plugged into the vehicle during programming or activation of run-time features. Between uses, AEV recommends storing the ProCal unit in the glove box or console. The included Quick Reference Guide is intended to fit in your Owners Manual folder.

The ProCal module will lock to a vehicle’s VIN number and may not be used on another vehicle until the “RESTORE” function is used on the original vehicle. The “RESTORE” function will reset a vehicle’s default settings to stock and unlock the module for use in another vehicle.

On Order !!
 

Got mine on order! :yup:

Worth the $ just for the tire & speedo correction feature alone ! !......and all the other features are just a added bonus:D:clap:

well i think this is worth it just for the temporary high idle control.

other things are nice to play with as required
