Engine Control Module. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or onboard computer is the central module in a vehicle that communicates with all other modules. The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is responsible for engine control. It receives sensor signals and performs complex calculations to regulate fuel supply, air distribution (electronic throttle), fuel injection and ignition timing, intake pressure adjustment, and determines engine compensation control coefficients based on factors such as temperature, load, knocking, and combustion conditions. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: Current digital transmission systems use the Pulse-Code-Modulation (PCM) system. PCM was not originally designed for computer data transmission but to enable a single trunk line between switches to carry more than one telephone signal. PCM has two standards, E1 and T1. 2. Services: PCM can provide users with various services, including digital data leased line services with rates from 2M to 155M, as well as other services such as voice, image transmission, and distance learning. It is particularly suitable for users who require higher data transmission rates and greater bandwidth.

Porsche PCM is the communication management system in Porsche vehicles, simply put, the infotainment hub of the car. In my view, it integrates navigation, music, phone, and vehicle control functions into one large screen, operating as smoothly as a tablet. The navigation updates routes in real-time to avoid traffic congestion, and for music, simply connect your phone to play songs or podcasts, making long drives anything but boring. The phone function allows Bluetooth calls, reducing the danger of manual dialing. I've driven new models with online updates, where maps upgrade automatically, which is very convenient. The system also monitors vehicle conditions like fuel levels and maintenance reminders, which is quite thoughtful. Modern technology has made PCM even smarter, incorporating voice control and safety alerts, such as tire pressure warnings, allowing young car owners to enjoy a stylish and safe driving experience.

Porsche PCM stands for Porsche Communication Management, which acts like the brain of the car, handling all communication and information tasks. When driving a Porsche, I find it incredibly practical: the navigation system is precise and error-free, allowing me to set a route home with just a few taps; the music section connects via Bluetooth for seamless playback, making time fly; the phone function enables hands-free calls, keeping things hassle-free while driving. The interface is intuitive, with a large touchscreen that responds quickly, making it easy even for beginners to use. It also monitors vehicle data, such as fuel consumption and warning lights, at a glance. Porsche continuously upgrades the PCM, now supporting real-time traffic updates to avoid the headache of traffic jams. Overall, it’s stable and user-friendly, perfect for both daily commutes and long journeys.

How to Deal with Bubbles on Rear Glass?

If the bubbling area is large, it is recommended to reapply the film. If there are not many bubbles and they are small in size, you can make a small opening and then use a squeegee combined with a hairdryer to slowly flatten them. Bubbles may be caused by dust or small sand particles on the film. If it's just a small area of bubbles, simply puncture them with a needle and then press them flat by hand.

If it's just a minor scratch or abrasion, you can address it by touching up the paint or repairing it based on the specific location. If the scratched area is large or the damage is deep, a touch-up pen won't suffice, and you'll need to opt for a spray paint solution.
