MCM, ACM, TCM Programming

Trusted Detroit Diesel ECM Experts You Can Rely On

Having trouble with power loss, bad shifting, or constant warning lights? The issue could be your MCM, ACM, or TCM. We specialize in diagnosing and programming these modules using the right software and skills. Whether you're dealing with failed regen or gear delays, we'll get to the root and sort it out—so your truck gets back on the road, the way it should.

Why Module Programming Matters?

Modern diesel trucks rely heavily on electronic control modules to manage everything from fuel injection to gear shifts. If your truck is showing fault codes, shifting rough, or failing emissions, the issue may lie in outdated or corrupted software in the MCM (Motor Control Module), ACM (Aftertreatment Control Module), or TCM (Transmission Control Module).

Timely programming or reprogramming of these modules keeps your engine, exhaust system, and transmission running properly, avoiding breakdowns, failed regen cycles, or costly downtime.

What We Offer

MCM Programming
We update or reprogram your Motor Control Module to ensure accurate engine timing, better fuel economy, and reduced check-engine alerts. This helps optimize performance and meet emissions compliance.

ACM Programming
Our team diagnoses and reprograms your After treatment Control Module, fixing regen issues, SCR faults, DEF dosing problems, and aftertreatment failures that cause excessive downtime.

TCM Programming
Smooth shifting starts here. We reprogram your Transmission Control Module (especially for Detroit DT12 systems) to eliminate shifting errors, harsh transitions, or gear hesitation.

How the Process Works

Diagnosis – We scan your system to detect trouble codes or outdated calibrations.
Backup & Configuration – We save current settings before applying the correct factory calibrations.
Programming – Using OEM-grade tools, we update the module with the latest, vehicle-specific software.
Testing & Verification – We test the vehicle post-programming to ensure smooth function and no recurring codes.

FAQs

What is MCM, ACM, and TCM programming?

These are control modules in your truck—MCM handles the engine, ACM manages emissions, and TCM controls shifting. Programming updates or resets these systems so they work the way they should.

When do I need this service?

If you've replaced a module, had electrical issues, or are getting fault codes that won't clear, it's time for programming.

Can you program a used control module?

Yes, in most cases we can reprogram used modules, but they need to be compatible with your truck's system.

How long does the programming take?

Usually 1–3 hours, depending on the issue and how many modules we're working on. We'll let you know upfront.
