Catalogue identity
The TuningService.uk ECU catalogue records EDC16C39 (CAN) under Bosch EDC16 (catalogue record 1581, observed 10 November 2026). The catalogue name is an identification lead; it does not by itself prove vehicle fitment or software compatibility.
This entry is grouped with EDC16C39 by its catalogue name for navigation. That placement does not establish hardware or calibration equivalence.
Application evidence
AutoTuner lists selected Alfa Romeo 1.9 JTDm examples under its EDC16C39 CAN label.
Tuning and identification
CAN identifies the communication label in these sources. Select the correct supported access method and software definition; the label alone does not establish a different torque or fuel-map layout.
Read EDC16 torque fuel and tuning basics and EDC16 variant application and tuning differences for the shared context. Examples are not an exhaustive fitment list; check the installed ECU and current tool documentation.
