ECU tuning options for the 1985 Jeep Cherokee/Wagoneer
Diesel engines benefit most from emissions-system optimisation (DPF, EGR, AdBlue) for off-road and motorsport use, plus Stage tuning where the ECU is supported in our database.
How it works
Read the ECU with any tool (KESS, KTAG, Autotuner, MPPS, bench or OBD), open the .bin in Softechpro, select the services above, and the software applies the changes and recalculates the checksum automatically — ready to flash back. Coverage is strongest on VAG, BMW and Mercedes (Bosch EDC15/16/17, MD1, MG1, MED17, Siemens, Delphi). New accounts get 5 free files to test compatibility before buying. We do not offer manual or custom tuning — services are automatic where the ECU is supported.
