Introduction
• An engine control unit (ECU), also commonly called an engine
control module (ECM), 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 and adjusting the engine actuators

• Control of air–fuel ratio
• Control of idle speed
• Control of variable valve timing
• Electronic valve control

Control of air–fuel ratio:

• Most modern engines use some type of fuel injection to


deliver fuel to the cylinders

• The throttle position sensor tells the ECU how far the
throttle plate is opened when the accelerator is pressed
down

• The engine coolant temperature sensor measures


whether the engine is warmed up or cool. If the engine
is still cool, additional fuel will be injected.

Control of idle speed:
• Effective idle speed control must anticipate the
engine load at idle

• A full authority throttle control system may be


used to control idle speed and provide cruise
control functions and top-speed limitation.

• It also monitors the ECU section for reliability.

Control of variable valve
timing :
• Some engines have variable valve timing. In such an engine,
the ECU controls the time in the engine cycle at which the
valves open.

• The valves are usually opened sooner at higher speed than at


lower speed.

• This can increase the flow of air into the cylinder, increasing
power and fuel economy.

Presentation title 7
Electronic valve control:
• Experimental engines have been made and tested that have no
camshaft, but have full electronic control of the intake and
exhaust valve opening, valve closing, and area of the valve
opening.

• Such engines can be started and run without a starter motor for
certain multi-cylinder engines

• Such a static-start engine would provide the efficiency and


pollution-reduction improvements of a mild hybrid-electric drive
