Our dependence on electronic devices is increasing day by day. If
phones, computers, televisions, etc, weren’t enough, even the cars are becoming
more electronic and less mechanical. Heart of the car, the engine, is mechanical
but the brain is electronic. An electronic control unit supervises, manages and
adjusts all the functions in a car. It consists of engine control module (ECM),
transmission control module (TCM), central control module (CCM), general
electronic module (GEM), suspension control module (SCM), power-train control
module (PCM), brake control module (BCM), central timing module (CTM) and body
control module (BCM). These are just the basic ECUs that are common in an auto
computer, whether it is Ford auto computer or Dodge auto computer. The modern
cars can have up to 80 ECUs that watch over the car functions. Some of them are
speed control unit (SCU), traction control unit (TCU), anti-lock braking system
(ABS), etc. An on board diagnostics system keeps complete track of all the data
coming and going from the modules and checks if there are any issues. It also
tries to repair the damages, if possible.
Any major problem in the electronics of your car can be lead to
bad performance or even worse. Most of the auto computers indicate any sort of
problem in the system, but you should still get your car checked if you suspect
a problem and there is no indication. The best place for that would be ProTech Auto Systems. They deal in auto computer replacement, auto computer
reprogramming, auto computer repair, etc. You can find here high quality
