Engine Control Unit (ECU) - The Brain of Your Vehicle

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) plays a crucial role in managing the engine's performance. It is necessary for modern vehicles, functioning as the car's brain by controlling the fuel mixture, ignition timing, and emission levels. Without it, optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency would be impossible.

How the ECU Works

The ECU continuously monitors data from various sensors located throughout the vehicle. It processes information about oxygen levels, temperature, pressure, and more to make real-time adjustments. These adjustments ensure the engine runs smoothly, maintaining the balance between power and economy.⚙️

Consequences of a Malfunctioning ECU

If the ECU is broken or faulty, the vehicle may experience erratic performance, increased emissions, or even a failure to start. Warning lights may illuminate on the dashboard, signaling the need for immediate attention to avoid any comprehensive damage to the engine.
