SeCons Ltd. Diagnostic Tools for ECU Validation and Workshop Use
The SeCons product line is ideal for both diagnostics and ECU validation after tuning. Unlike generic OBD scanners, these tools offer deep, protocol-specific access for major vehicle brands.
Available tools:
- RenCOM – Renault & Dacia
- FiCOM – Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia
- F-COM – Ford
- PoCOM – Porsche
- HiCOM – Hyundai & Kia
Use SeCons tools for:
- OEM-level fault code reading and resetting
- Accessing hidden ECUs, adaptations, and variant info
- Verifying ECU settings and module communication post-remap
- Confirming performance or emissions-related adaptations
Features and variations within the SeCons Ltd. category
SeCons tools stand out due to their vehicle-specific design, which grants access to ECUs that generic tools cannot reach. Each version is built on a unified software platform but customized for communication protocols, sensor layouts, and ECU architecture specific to the vehicle brand.
Key characteristics include:
- Full OEM-level DTC access, including brand-specific fault codes
- ECU coding and configuration changes (e.g., injector coding, adaptation resets)
- Module identification and reprogramming support
- Compatibility with Windows-based PCs and laptops
- Firmware-upgradeable USB interfaces, ensuring long-term usability
While tools like FiCOM and F-COM cover broader market segments, PoCOM is tailored for the high-end Porsche segment with extended access to systems such as PDK transmission units, electronic suspension, and ABS.
Model selection tips:
- Choose RenCOM for Renault diagnostics or tuning validation involving body modules and diesel ECUs
- Use HiCOM when working with Korean models where basic OBD tools often fall short
- For in-depth diagnostics on Fiat engines (e.g., 1.3 Multijet), FiCOM provides deeper access than most aftermarket platforms
Pro tip: Choose your tool based on the engine families or brands you work with most often.

Why professionals rely on SeCons Ltd. tools in ECU remapping
When tuning professionals select diagnostic tools, reliability, brand-specific access, and accurate OEM-level data are top priorities. SeCons Ltd. delivers on all three. These tools are engineered with remapping validation and ECU development in mind — not for live engine data logging.
Advantages for tuning professionals include:
- Consistent access to ECU coding, adaptation values, and injector classification
- Ability to validate sensor calibrations and ECU settings after software adjustments
- Efficient identification of communication issues before or after flashing
- Precise ECU variant recognition, helping select the right tuning base file
This brand-specific detail sets SeCons apart from universal platforms. For tuners working on complex diesel systems, dual-clutch transmissions, or hybrid ECUs, SeCons tools are essential for verifying ECU configuration and avoiding miscommunication with vehicle systems.
Advanced use cases within the SeCons Ltd. category
Aside from diagnostics and remapping validation, SeCons tools are often used in:
- Fleet diagnostics requiring specialized access to Renault vans or Fiat commercial vehicles
- Motorsport applications for ECU and module validation processes (not engine sensor datalogging)
- Workshop automation, allowing multiple modules to be scanned or configured quickly in brand-specific environments
- ECU reverse-engineering, where full ECU and TCU access is needed for bench work or emulator use
Each interface offers exportable diagnostic logs and configuration reports, which can be imported into tuning platforms or Excel for further analysis. This is particularly useful when validating turbo control behavior, fuel pressure regulation, or exhaust after treatment functions at the configuration level.
How to choose the right SeCons tools for your workshop
The SeCons ecosystem is modular: each tool focuses on one vehicle brand or group.
Buying strategy:
- Start with the interface supporting the vehicle brand you service most
- Keep your tool up to date using the SeCons software suite
- Use a battery support unit during long coding or diagnostic sessions
- Combine SeCons with professional tuning platforms like BitBox, PCMFlash, or WinOLS to cross-reference configuration data
Running a multi-brand workshop? Build your toolset over time: begin with FiCOM or HiCOM and expand as needed.
