ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
What is an ECU ? .
 In the Automobile industry an electronic
control unit (ECU) is an embedded
electronic device, basically a digital
computer, that reads signals coming from
sensors placed at various parts and in
different components of the car and
depending on this information controls
various important units.
 e.g. Engine, ECM - Engine Control
Module, EBCM - Electronic Brake
Control Module, PCM – Power train
Control Module, VCM - Vehicle Control
Module and BCM - Body Control
Module
What an ECU does ? .
 The ECU uses closed-loop control, a control scheme that
monitors outputs of a system to control the inputs to a
system, managing the emissions and fuel economy of the
engine (as well as a host of other parameters).
 Gathering data from dozens of different sensors, the ECU
performs millions of calculations each second, including
looking up values in tables, calculating the results of long
equations to decide on the best spark timing or determining
how long the fuel injector is open.

Components of ECU
• An ECU consists of a number of functional blocks:
• 1. Power Supply – digital and analog (power for analog sensors)
• 2. MPU – microprocessor and memory (usually Flash and RAM)
• 3. Communications Link – (e.g. CAN bus)
• 4. Discrete Inputs – On/Off Switch type inputs
• 5. Frequency Inputs – encoder type signals (e.g. crank or vehicle speed)
• 6. Analog Inputs – feedback signals from sensors
• 7. Switch Outputs – On/Off Switch type outputs
• 8. PWM Outputs – variable frequency and duty cycle (e.g. injector or
ignition)
• 9. Frequency Outputs – constant duty cycle (e.g. stepper motor – idle

Number Crunching
A modern ECU might contain a 32-bit, 40-MHz
processor, which may not sound fast compared to the
processors we probably have in our PCs, but the
processor in our car runs a much more efficient code.
The code in an average ECU takes up less than 1
megabyte(MB) of memory. By comparison, we
probably have at least 2 gigabytes (GB) of programs on
our computers -- 2,000 times the amount in an ECU.
Sensors Used In Engine Management
System
• ENGINE SENSORS
• Oil Sensors
• Fuel Gauge Sensor
• Oxygen Sensor
• Throttle Position Sensor
• Crankshaft Position Sensor
• MAP Sensor
• Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
• Mass Air Flow Sensor
• Temperature Sensor
OIL SENSORS
Oil sensors and oil analyzers are
used in automotive or industrial
machinery applications to sense oil
levels, and check for:
• Contamination
• Particulates
• Viscosity
• Temperature
Oil sensors and oil analyzers are also
known as ferrography instruments.
FUEL GAUGE
A fuel gauge is an instrument used to indicate the level of fuel contained in a tank.
As used in cars, the gauge consists of two parts:
• The sensing unit
• The indicator
OXYGEN SENSOR
This sensor is used in the mechanism serving for air fuel
ratio measurement, it is installed in the exhaust system of
the vehicle, attached to the engine's exhaust manifold, the
sensor measures the ratio of the air-fuel mixture.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
A throttle position
sensor is a sensor used
used to monitor the
position of the throttle
in an internal
combustion engine. The
sensor is usually located
on the butterfly spindle
so that it can directly
monitor the position of
the throttle valve
CRANK POSITION SENSOR
A crank position sensor is
a component used in an
internal combustion
engine to monitor the
position or rotational
speed of the crankshaft.
This information is used
by engine management
systems to control
ignition system timing
and other engine
parameters.
MAP SENSOR
MAPSENSOR
•A manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) is one of the sensors
used in an internal combustion engine's electronic control system.
•The manifold absolute pressure sensor provides instantaneous
manifold pressure information to the engine's electronic control unit
(ECU).
•The data is used to calculate air density and determine the engine's
air mass flow rate, which in turn determines the required fuel metering
for optimum combustion.
• A fuel-injected engine may alternately use a MAF (mass air flow)
sensor to detect the intake airflow. A typical configuration employs one
or the other, but seldom both.
Coolant Temperature Sensor
•The coolant temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of
the engine coolant of an internal combustion engine.
•The readings from this sensor are then fed back to the Engine control
unit (ECU). This data from the sensor is then used to adjust the fuel
injection and ignition timing.
•On some vehicles the sensor may be used to switch on the electronic
cooling fan. The data may also be used to provide readings for a coolant
temperature gauge on the dash.
•The coolant temperature sensor works using resistance. As
temperature subjected to the sensor increases the internal resistance
changes.
•Depending on the type of sensor the resistance will either increase or
Mass Air Flow Sensor
Mass Air Flow Sensor
• A mass air flow sensor (MAF) is used to find out the mass flow
rate of air entering a fuel-injected internal combustion engine.
• The air mass information is necessary for the engine control
unit (ECU) to balance and deliver the correct fuel mass to the
engine. Air changes its density as it expands and contracts
with temperature and pressure. In automotive applications, air
density varies with the ambient temperature, altitude and the
use of forced induction, which means that mass flow sensors
are more appropriate than volumetric flow sensors for
determining the quantity of intake air in each piston stroke
• Measured variable ;Temperature
• Direct/indirect measurement ;Direct
measurement at various locations
• Sensor technology/ reference ;
Thermistor or thermocouple
depending on temperature range
• Sensor mounting location ;Intake air,
outside air, catalytic converter,
engine coolant, hydraulic oil .
TEMPARATURE SENSOR
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
A wheel speed sensor or
vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is
a type of tachometer. It is a
sender device used for
reading the speed of a
vehicle's wheel rotation. It
usually consists of a toothed
ring and pickup.
SPEEDOMETER
A speedometer is a device
that measures the
instantaneous speed of a land
vehicle.
The various types of
speedometers include:
• Eddy current speedometer
• Electronic speedometer
• Bicycle speedometer
Air bag control unit (ACU): It protects the occupant in the cars by
inflating the thin nylon balloon from the steering when automobile
colloids with any object
 Body control unit (BCU) controls door locks, electric windows,
courtesy lights, etc.
 Brake Control Module (BCM) :
 Seat Control Unit
Speed control unit (SCU)

ECU Challenges
The worse place in the world to put a sophisticated piece
of electronics is under the bonnet of a car due to massive
vibrations, constant heat variations and intense radio
interference from the ignition system added to the fact
that the manufacturers must produce on a huge scale,
this causes so many problems and design flaws with
modern day ECUs.
