ECM operating principles
Definition and functions, key components and their interaction, importance in engine management and impact on vehicle efficiency.
From ECM principles to building your own test bench: passives, actives, circuits, soldering, common failures, programming, immobilizers and a custom bench.
Recorded classes with theory and practice, on demand and at your own pace.
Downloadable material with the course content to consult in the shop.
Circuits to build your own test bench to diagnose and simulate ECUs.
Digital diploma that backs your training when you finish the course.
In-person training is expensive, halts your operation and often teaches theory you can't apply. Meanwhile, customers want more power, better performance and diagnostics your basic scanner can no longer solve.
Definition and functions, key components and their interaction, importance in engine management and impact on vehicle efficiency.
Resistors, capacitors and coils: role in voltage stabilization, signal filtering and the overall ECU design.
Diodes, transistors and semiconductors: signal control and amplification, specific applications and performance impact.
Classification, power circuits, control and signal circuits, and optimized design for safety and efficiency.
Tools and materials, soldering and desoldering techniques, safety measures and common errors to avoid.
Typical ECU failure identification, diagnostic methods, component replacement techniques and the use of wiring diagrams in repair.
Programming and reprogramming fundamentals, tools and software, immobilizer programming and critical precautions.
Design and components, build and assembly process, calibration and simulating real operating conditions.
Modern methods to program without errors and in a fraction of the time. Ready-to-use templates.
When you finish you get a digital Openauto Academy certificate that backs your training with customers.
Study when you can: the material is recorded and the group mentorships stay available to review.
Every week, live, an instructor reviews the group's real cases, helps with .bin files and answers questions.
A complete library from fundamentals to advanced topics — always available, with search.
Access to our AI copilot trained on the Openauto method: it helps you with .bin files, maps and diagnosis instantly.
Over a decade programming ECUs in real workshops before building Openauto Academy. No classroom professors: you learn from engineers and technicians who have lived off chiptuning since 2010.
"Thanks to engineer Andrés Meléndez's courses —electronics, common rail and WinOLS 1, 2 and 3— I grew my income without having to leave my country. Today I serve workshops inside and outside Venezuela."
"I started knowing nothing. With WinOLS 1, 2 and 3 I learned to load reprogrammings and to diagnose in the shop. I also recommend the ECM and RaceEVO courses."
"I took Open Auto's programming bundle and it helped me a lot. Today I diagnose and do jobs I didn't dare to before. Andrés explains things very well."
"Thanks to Open Auto I learned to do reprogrammings and to get the most out of diagnostic tools and map editing."
"We do reading and programming of DPF OFF and EGR. Open Auto's training was a key pillar for my professional growth."
