ABSTRACT:
Conventional control modules, such as vehicle control modules, VCM, powertrain control modules, PCM, or engine control modules, ECM, provided with diagnostic and/or emulation ports, or simply with portions of the wiring harnesses which are devoted to diagnostic or emulation functions, are retrofitted with an adapter module which allows the originally manufactured control module to be reconfigured to operate in a dramatically different protocol without any system redesign. The memory within the originally manufactured control module can be disabled, bypassed or rewritten to store a new program contained in one of a plurality of programs in an adapter memory or contained in one of a plurality of memories in the adapter module. One application includes retrofitting conventionally manufactured gasoline or diesel vehicles to run on alternative fuel, such as propane, compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas and the like.
