Do manual transmission cars have TCU?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars do not have TCU, only automatic transmission cars do. TCU is the automatic transmission regulation system. The transmission control module helps the transmission decide when and how to shift gears by collecting information from various sensors and the engine control module, thereby improving vehicle performance, ensuring smooth gear shifts, and saving fuel consumption. The TCU terminal device can wirelessly transmit GPS location information, driving speed, and vehicle data back to the system platform, allowing users to monitor and manage the vehicle via computers or mobile phones. TCU utilizes computer and power electronic drive technology to achieve automatic vehicle transmission, eliminating differences in driver shifting techniques, reducing driver workload, enhancing driving safety, and improving vehicle power and fuel efficiency.
