This article is from Yanzhi Autonomous Driving The intelligent connectivity of automobiles brings a significant increase in information flow, and the automotive electronic and electrical (EE) architecture will undergo an upgrade. This evolution is akin to the changes in the organizational structure of ancient Chinese society, from feudal lords to the five hegemons of the … Read more
The ECU, short for Electronic Control Unit, refers to all electronic control systems in a car. With the increasing number of electronic components in new energy and autonomous vehicles, the wiring has become more complex. Currently, data exchange between multiple ECUs in a vehicle is connected via the CAN bus, forming a network system for … Read more
When you open the aluminum alloy casing of the ECU, you will see a PCB (multi-layered epoxy resin board) that is soldered with various ICs (integrated circuits or commonly known as chips), resistors and capacitors the size of sesame seeds, power MOSFETs (field-effect transistors) and power diodes and transistors closely attached to the aluminum casing, … Read more
ECU tuning is an automotive modification technique that has been imported from abroad. Initially, car owners viewed it as a high-end gadget. Some owners argue that tuning the ECU to enhance power can harm the engine, leading to increased fuel consumption and reduced engine lifespan. They believe sacrificing engine longevity for power enhancement is not … Read more
I have always been curious about what the warning lights on a car dashboard mean, when they appear, and when they disappear. Over the past two years, I have gained some knowledge in this area, and I would like to share it with interested friends. This article will introduce the automotive controller (ECU) fault diagnosis … Read more
TechGear The ECU is the core of the electronic control system. It is essentially a microcomputer or microcontroller that receives signals from sensors on one hand, processes this information, and sends corresponding instructions to control the actions of actuators on the other hand. Sensors are components that perceive information, responsible for providing the ECU with … Read more
The ECU is the control center of the ABS system, essentially a micro digital computer, typically composed of two microprocessors and other necessary circuits, forming an indivisible unit that cannot be repaired. The basic input signals for the electronic control unit are the wheel speed signals sent from the four wheel sensors, while the output … Read more
In terms of chips, Huawei has always insisted on independent research and development, especially for core high-end chips, such as the Kirin series, Balong series, Kunpeng series, and Lingxiao series. However, after the rules regarding chips were modified, Huawei’s self-developed Kirin 9000 and other chips could not be produced temporarily, because TSMC and others could … Read more
The ECU (Electronic Control Unit), as the brain of the car, controls the vehicle’s engine, airbags, anti-lock braking system, etc. In addition to the ECU located in the engine, there are also separate ECUs in other locations of the car, with approximately hundreds of ECUs in a single vehicle. However, with the development of the … Read more
