Abstract
A method of selecting a performance trim set for a control algorithm from multiple performance trims sets contained in a read only memory. The selected trim set is used by a control system for a motor vehicle, such as a traction control system. The selected trim set is determined by a trim set identification. The trim set identification is determined every ignition cycle from the system messages. A default trim set identification can be provided until the vehicle identification for a particular motor vehicle is received through the system messages. Thus, a failsafe is provided to ensure that a valid trim set is used for that particular motor vehicle.
