Modern automotive systems rely on a distributed network of specialized ECUs, each responsible for critical functions:
- Engine Control Unit (ECU/ECM): Manages fuel delivery, ignition, and emissions.
- Transmission Control Unit (TCU): Coordinates smooth gear shifts and efficiency.
- Body Control Module (BCM): Controls lighting, windows, locks, and climate systems.
- Brake Control Module (EBCM/ABS): Prevents wheel lock and supports stability control.
- Battery Management System (BMS): Protects and balances EV/hybrid battery packs.
- ADAS ECUs: Enable automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, and adaptive cruise control.
Together, these units form a connected ecosystem that makes modern vehicles safer and smarter.
