The ECM consists of a microcomputer and connectors for transmitting/receiving signals and for supplying power. Furthermore, the ECM is equipped with an injector driver unit and actuates the fuel injector at a high voltage (approximately 70 V at the maximum).
ECM is equipped with ECM temperature sensors. If ECM is overheated, ECM controls output torque to prevent damage to itself.
Battery voltage is supplied to the ECM even when the ignition switch is turned OFF for the ECM memory function of the DTC memory, the air-fuel ratio feedback compensation value memory, the idle air volume learning value memory, etc.
