Engine Control Computer
In order to meet Federal Exhaust Emission and Fuel Economy regulations, today's vehicles are equipped with highly sophisticated electronic engine control systems. These systems do not require periodic adjustments. The only services required on a scheduled basis are spark plug and filter replacement. Tune-ups, as we knew them, are no longer necessary.
Engine Control Computer
The
computer receives information from a network of sensors and switches
that convert engine operating conditions into electrical signals. Based
on the information and instructions stored in the computer program,
commands are then sent to three primary systems: The sensors that monitor one or more of these systems include:
