Cold Start Delete

Cold Start Delete explained — how it works, related DTCs and how Softechpro does it with automatic checksum correction.

What is Cold Start Delete?

Cold Start Delete softens the loud cold-start high-idle strategy (raised RPM and retarded timing) for a quieter, gentler startup. Softechpro applies it directly in the ECU calibration and recalculates the checksum & CVN automatically, so the file is flash-ready.
