What Parts Does the Body Computer Control?

The body computer functions like the human brain, essentially managing all electronic-related information within the vehicle. Additional details are as follows: Simple principle of body computer operation: The operation of a car engine is controlled by the car computer (i.e., ECU). The ECU regulates the engine's air intake, fuel injection, ignition timing, etc., thereby determining the engine's operational efficiency, power, torque, and more. The engine operates under various conditions such as speed, gear, load, temperature, etc., corresponding to specific air intake, fuel injection, and ignition timing data. For instance, systems like the anti-lock braking system, 4-wheel drive system, electronically controlled automatic transmission, active suspension system, airbag system, and multi-directional adjustable electric seats are each equipped with their own ECUs. With the increasing electrification and automation of automobiles, the number of ECUs will continue to rise, and the circuitry will become more complex. To simplify the circuit and reduce costs, the communication of information between multiple ECUs in a vehicle employs a technology known as multiplex communication network, integrating all the vehicle's ECUs into a network system, which is the CAN data bus.
