What are the consequences of water ingress in a car's computer board?
1 Answers
Water ingress in a car's computer board can cause various electrical components to short-circuit due to the water. Below is relevant information about car computer boards: 1. Definition: A car computer is an electronic device that automatically processes input signals from various sensors according to preset programs, then outputs signals to actuators to control the vehicle's operation. 2. Classification: Car computers are now widely used, such as body computers, engine computers, transmission computers, and ABS computers. Although the number and types of computers configured in different vehicle models vary, the general development trend is to use one main computer to process input signals from most sensors, while using smaller electronic control units to manage other systems. 3. Composition: The main component of a car computer is a microcontroller. A microcontroller is a circuit board that integrates a microprocessor (CPU), memory, and input/output interfaces. The microprocessor is the core component of the microcontroller, converting input analog signals into digital signals, comparing them with stored reference data for processing, and calculating output values. The output signals control the actuators after power amplification.
