Flextron ECA

Wireless Flex Fuel Sensor Module with CAN Bus Output for Performance Vehicles

Bluetooth LE CAN Bus Ethanol Sensor Plug & Play Kit

Overview

Flextron ECA is a compact flex fuel sensor module designed for performance and tuning applications. It reads ethanol content and fuel temperature directly from the vehicle's fuel line and broadcasts the data wirelessly over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Simultaneously, it pushes the same data onto the vehicle's CAN Bus, making it instantly readable by compatible ECUs and tuning platforms — with no additional wiring harness required.

All CAN Bus parameters (message ID, frame type, update rate and bus speed) are fully configurable via the Flextron mobile application and are retained in the module's non-volatile memory between power cycles.

Key Features

📡

Bluetooth LE Broadcasting

Continuously streams live ethanol percentage and fuel temperature to the Flextron app over BLE — no pairing required.

🔌

CAN Bus Output

Injects ethanol and temperature data directly onto the vehicle CAN Bus in real time, readable by supported ECUs and flash tools.

⚙️

Configurable CAN Settings

Set message ID, frame format (Standard / Extended), update rate and bus speed. All settings saved in onboard memory.

🌡️

Dual Sensor Readings

Reports ethanol content (0–100%) and fuel temperature (−40 °C to +125 °C) simultaneously at configurable update rates.

🔧

Complete Kit

Ships as a ready-to-install set including sensor, microcontroller unit and all required fuel line fittings and hoses.

📱

App Integration

Pairs with the free Flextron app (iOS & Android) for live dashboard, data logging, map of E85 stations and configuration.

🔒

Isolated CAN Interface

Galvanically isolated CAN Bus interface prevents ground loops and protects both the module and the vehicle's CAN network from interference.

Wide Voltage Input

Operates across a 7 V – 36 V input range, making it compatible with 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems out of the box.

🛡️

TVS Diode Protection

Transient Voltage Suppression diode on the power input effectively clamps surge voltages and transient spikes, protecting internal electronics from load-dump events.

CAN Bus Configuration

All parameters are configurable via the Flextron app and stored in non-volatile memory.

Parameter Options Default
Frame Type Standard (11-bit) Extended (29-bit) Standard
Message ID Any valid hex value within frame type range 0xEC
Update Rate 4 Hz 10 Hz 50 Hz 100 Hz 250 Hz 500 Hz 1000 Hz 4 Hz
Bus Speed 125 Kbps 250 Kbps 500 Kbps 1 Mbps 500 Kbps

Supported Tuning Platforms

The following platforms are natively supported out of the box. CAN message ID and update rate can be adjusted to match any platform's expected data stream.
