ECUa microprocessor-based device that manages and controls electrical systems within vehicles, ensuring optimal performance and functionality
What is an "electronic control unit"?
An electronic control unit (ECU) is a computer system in a vehicle that manages and controls various functions, such as engine performance, braking, and climate control. It receives input from sensors, processes the information, and sends commands to different parts of the vehicle to ensure everything runs smoothly. ECUs help improve efficiency, safety, and performance by constantly adjusting settings in response to changing conditions, like speed or temperature. Modern vehicles may have several ECUs working together to manage different systems within the car.
