Module A: ECU Hardware Architecture
6. Future Trends in ECU Technology
- Fuel control: Sequential or batch injection based on engine load and RPM.
- Ignition control: Adaptive dwell time and knock correction via onboard knock sensor input.
- Idle regulation: PWM control of idle air control valve (IAC).
- Diagnostics: Integrated OBD-II compliant monitoring for misfire, O2 sensors, and catalyst efficiency.
