ECM AND SENSORS OVERVIEW • Ignition control

Engine control module (ECM) • Fuel control
• Idle air control
• fuel pump
• EVAP Canister Purge
• Air-conditioning
• Diagnostic functions

In vehicles with automatic transmission, data exchange

between the engine control module (ECM) and the
transmission control module (TCM) is carried out via a
CAN bus system. The following signals are exchanged
over the CAN bus:

ECM to TCM:
(1) Hole A • ECM CAN signal status
(2) Hole B • engine torque
• Coolant temperature
The engine control module (ECM) is located in the • throttle position
common chamber. The ECM controls the following. • Engine speed
• Fuel metering system • Air conditioning status
• Ignition timing • CAN valid counter
• On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
TCM to ECM:
The ECM constantly observes information from various • Ignition regulation delay request
sensors. The ECM controls the systems that affect the • Garage shift status
vehicle's performance. And performs system diagnostic • CAN valid counter
function.
The function can recognize operational problems and
warn the driver through the check engine light and
memorized diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs
identify problem areas to help the technician make
repairs.
The input/output devices of the ECM include analog-to-
digital converters, signal memories, counters, and
actuators. The ECM controls most components with
electronic switches that complete a ground circuit when
activated.

Inputs (Operational Condition Reading):

• battery voltage
• Electric ignition
• Oxygen content in the exhaust
• Airflow
• Sucked air temperature
• Engine coolant temperature
• crankshaft position
• Camshaft position
• throttle position
• Vehicle speed
• Power steering pressure
• Request to turn on or off the air conditioner (A/C)
• Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve position

Outputs (Controlled by systems):
