What is an automotive ECM
1 Answers
Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) has the function of continuously monitoring and controlling the normal operation of the engine. Here is relevant information: 1. ECM: The automotive engine control module (ECM) is one of the most important automotive electronics. Early ECMs required three printed circuit boards, composed of 12 LSIs and dozens of SSIs. Today, ECMs based on microcontrollers only require a single printed circuit board. 2. Composition: The core component of an ECM is a VLSI microcontroller composed of a microprocessor. It collects control parameters through various corresponding sensors (temperature, pressure, gas-sensitive, displacement) and implements automatic control over the engine, fuel injection, ignition, combustion, operation, and emissions through the microcontroller. The ECM is also connected to the main vehicle computer via a bus.
