On many modern vehicles, the transmission control unit (TCU) takes part in the immobilizer or component protection system, and the immobilizer-related data of the TCU may be stored in its EEPROM. If the TCU cannot be authenticated, for example after a used TCU from another vehicle has been installed, the transmission may not engage gears or may switch to limp mode.
TCU immo removal deactivates the immobilizer check of the TCU. The [EEPROM] version of this module is applied to the EEPROM (data memory) file read from the TCU. Whether the [FLASH] or the [EEPROM] version is needed depends on the TCU type.
