Function of the engine control system
In case of a defect in the engine control unit, there can be many consequences, since the engine control unit fulfills a central role in the car. In the event of a fault, it could happen that certain characteristic values do not meet the prescribed specifications when the engine is started.
This can even be so serious that starting the engine is no longer possible at all. Mostly, however, an error manifests itself in the fact that the engine is more difficult to start than usual. Furthermore, the engine control unit also forwards some information to other control units, which means that errors can occur in cross-system control units in the event of a defect.
