Default ABS and TCS tuning

I'm looking at getting EFI-Live or HP Tuners soon. I'm wondering if either of these packages offers the ability to tune ABS or Traction Control. I would like to get into these systems as much as I would like to get into the engine. ABS on my '02 Formula intervenes way too soon, and TCS doesn't recover fast enough. Does anyone have experience with tuning these?

ABS is a function of the BCM which neither Our program or EFILive allows you access to.

Traction control can be altered with either program though.

@foff667

Is ABS a function of BCM or EBCM? Would appreciate it if you could explain how ABS is controlled by BCM/EBCM in details.


Thanks,

Thanks,
ECU is a Engine Control Unit. The BCM is a Body Control Module. The ECU just controls the motor and its functions. The BCM controls all the brakes and body control devices. HPTuners and EFI live just control the ECU not the BCM.

So what about EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module)? Does the BCM controls the EBCM as well?

EBCM reports back to the BCM.
