International Debuts Over-The-Air Reprogramming of ECMs

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — International Truck announced that over-the-air reprogramming of engine control modules for all International Truck models powered by its N9, N10 and N13 engines is available for no charge.

“With this important step, over-the-air reprogramming is becoming a reality for truck operators,” said Bill Kozek, Navistar president of truck and parts. “This first-in-the-industry innovation will allow truck users to update their engine control modules with unprecedented ease and convenience, delivering improved uptime and other benefits over a safe, secure Wi-Fi connection.”

The company also said in a release issued during the Technology & Maintenance Council’s annual meeting here that over-the-air updates will be available for purchase for all International Truck models powered by 2010 and newer proprietary engines.

OTA reprogramming of the truck’s ECM will enable the driver or fleet manager to utilize a mobile interface to initiate reprogramming to approved calibrations. This quick procedure can be performed at the customer’s facility over a Wi-Fi connection.
