About ECU
What is the ECU/what does it do?
The term ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is a universal name given to a variety of electronic control systems found in a car. Collectively they make up the car's computer or brain which controls and regulates key components of the vehicle.
Getting into the details of the ECU
ECU’s are located within the dashboard or engine bay. It is often possible to ‘read’ or interrogate your car's various ECU’s using a laptop computer with relevant software and cable or a dedicated reader via a connection port which is usually located in the dashboard. This method is used by mechanics for diagnosis of certain vehicle faults.
An ECU controls or governs aspects of a car's systems including, but not limited to, the engine, ABS, suspension, automatic gearbox and power steering.
What if something goes wrong with the ECU?
Like any electronic component an ECU can fail for a number of reasons including short circuits, dry solder joints, water damage or age. Diagnosis is generally much easier with the correct reader which can be used to obtain error codes from ECU.
Vauxhall Corsa trivia
- Plenty of celebs have been used in adverts for the Corsa, including musician Sean Paul, supermodel Claudia Schiffer, and TV chef James Martin.
- Over the last decade, the British police have purchased 20,000 Vauxhall Corsas.
- Corsas come in a vast range of colours, but the most popular in the UK is grey! It is estimated that there are currently just over 40,000 grey Corsas on Britain's roads right now.
- The Vauxhall Corsa was very nearly not the Corsa at all. Bosses at Vauxhall were a bit worried that the name was too close to the word 'coarser,' which has connotations that those in charge wanted to avoid.
- Car prices over the last 25 years have inevitably gone up, but in the case of the Corsa, that price hike has only been around £3,850.
