Where is the engine ECU located?
1 Answers
The engine ECU is installed next to the battery in the engine compartment. In some models, it may also be located inside the plastic panel under the steering wheel. The installation position of the ECU varies depending on the vehicle model. The ECU, commonly known as the vehicle's onboard computer, controls various systems such as the transmission, engine, entertainment system, audio system, and braking system. When the ECU malfunctions, symptoms may include erratic warning lights on the dashboard and abnormal operation of the throttle and brakes. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly visit a repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection and maintenance to prevent potential safety hazards during vehicle use.
