What is the warranty period for the controller?
2 Answers
The warranty period for the controller is generally about one year, and the warranty period for different automotive controllers may vary. Below is a related introduction to the body controller: Functions: Common functions of the body controller include controlling power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, headlights, turn signals, anti-theft locking systems, central locking, defrosting devices, etc. The body controller can be connected to other vehicle ECUs via a bus. Tasks: The important task of the body controller is to simplify operations and reduce manual operations by occupants to avoid distracting them. The automotive body control system includes vehicle safety, comfort control, and information communication systems, mainly used to enhance the safety, comfort, and convenience of the vehicle.
As a professional frequently dealing with automobiles, the warranty period for controllers such as the Engine Control Unit (ECU) is typically aligned with the vehicle's overall policy. In China, it generally covers the first two years after purchase or up to 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. During this period, if the controller fails, it can be repaired or replaced free of charge. I recommend keeping the warranty manual and purchase invoice safe, and paying attention to dashboard warning lights while driving, as the ECU controls engine ignition and transmission systems—any abnormalities can affect performance or even lead to breakdowns. During regular maintenance, have the technician scan the system with a diagnostic computer to detect and address issues early, avoiding out-of-pocket expenses after the warranty expires. This can save car owners a lot of trouble and money.
