This document provides an overview of computer systems and electronic control modules used in vehicle engines, including the CPU, ECM, PCM, TCM, and BCM. It discusses the basic functions of input, processing, storage, and output that computers perform. Inputs can be switches that are on/off or sensors that provide feedback. Reference voltage sensors use a constant 5 volt reference point to measure values, while voltage generating sensors produce their own voltage signal. The document begins to discuss output devices like solenoids, switches, relays, and motors that are controlled by computer output signals.
