Core Functions and Limitations of the CPC Module

Torque and Boost Pressure Limitations

The modern CPC module limits the torque output and boost pressure after ECU tuning. Even if the ECU has been adjusted, it is still impossible to surpass the preset upper limits. Upgrading the CPC can remove these restrictions, unleash higher torque and boost performance, and prevent powertrain components from being damaged due to excessive load.

Removing Torque Limitations

After upgrading, the CPC module allows the ECU to access higher torque outputs, further unleashing the engine's potential power.

Removing Idle Speed Limitations

When the vehicle is in Park (P) or Neutral (N) gear, the CPC module limits the engine's maximum RPM. After the upgrade, this limitation is removed, allowing the engine to reach higher RPMs while stationary, which facilitates maintenance and performance testing.

Removing Top Speed Limitations

Many Mercedes-Benz models have a factory-set top speed limit. By tuning the CPC module, the vehicle's top speed limit can be removed, providing support for high-speed driving.

Increasing Boost Pressure Limitations

The upgraded CPC allows the ECU to access higher boost pressures, thereby improving the engine's boosting efficiency and power output.

Optimizing Throttle Response

After recalibrating the CPC module, the throttle response speed is accelerated, providing the driver with a more direct and rapid acceleration experience.

Optimizing Exhaust Valve Control

The upgraded CPC enhances the learning ability of the exhaust valve control, achieving more precise exhaust management. It also provides an option to keep the exhaust valves fully open at all times, enhancing exhaust sound and performance.

Improving Engine Cooling Pump Efficiency

CPC optimization can improve the efficiency of the cooling pump, ensuring the engine maintains stable operation under high load, effectively reducing the risk of performance degradation due to high temperatures.

Enhancing Intercooler Cooling Efficiency

The optimized CPC improves the performance of the intercooler cooling pump, thereby reducing the intake air temperature and ensuring the engine can perform at its maximum potential under various conditions.

Exhaust Valves 100% Fully Open

Users can select this feature to keep the exhaust valves always 100% fully open, enhancing the sound effect of the exhaust system and the sporty feel of the vehicle.

Interconnection of the CPC Module with Other Systems

Coordination with ECU and TCU

If the CPC module is not synchronized with the tuned ECU, the CPC may interfere with the engine's output, causing the vehicle to fail to reach the expected performance and may trigger limp mode, limiting power output to protect the system.

Personalized Tuning Options

The upgraded CPC supports customized settings according to user needs, such as turning off the start-stop system to ensure uninterrupted power output, or adjusting the exhaust valves as required.

Summary

Upgrading the CPC module not only removes the idle speed limitations when the vehicle is stationary but also comprehensively optimizes the vehicle's power and cooling systems, enabling your Mercedes-Benz to exhibit excellent performance in both daily driving and high-performance scenarios. These adjustments are applicable to high-performance models equipped with CPC, such as the AMG series, and through coordinated tuning with the ECU and TCU, achieve the best driving experience and performance.

If you wish to optimize your vehicle, it is recommended to perform personalized CPC tuning based on the specific configuration and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your vehicle to ensure the best results.
