Engine ECU

An engine control unit (ECU) is a type of electronic control unit that

controls a series of actuators on an internal combustion engine to
ensure optimal engine performance. It does this by reading values
from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, interpreting the

data using multidimensional performance maps (called lookup

tables), and adjusting the engine actuators accordingly.
The programmable ECU may control the amount of fuel to be
injected into each cylinder. This varies depending on the engine's
RPM and the position of the accelerator pedal (or the manifold air
pressure). The calibration engineer can adjust this by using some
calibration tools. Code Diagnostic for safety is written in the ECU
which is based on standard ISO protocols
