Engine Management System
Also known as an  engine control unit (ECU), or the  power-train control module (PCM), or engine control module (ECM). Probably the greatest advance of modern motor vehicles is the engine management system, an onboard computer which constantly and instantly adjusts the fine tuning of the engine, dependant on the requirements of the moment.

For instance, while driving your car, you might be climbing a steep hill using maximum power, rise over the crest and descend the other side of the hill with your foot off the accelerator pedal. During this time, electronic sensors, wired throughout your car, will send signals to the ECU. The central computer or brain of your car. The ECU will decide how much fuel is mixed into the intake of the engine cylinders, (the intake manifold), the timing of the spark plug firing, the valve timing, and the gear selection, (if automatic transmission). All this adjustment within milliseconds. This gives many benefits, mostly noticed by optimum performance at any given moment, but also includes fuel economy and safe engine operation by reduction in wear and tear from normal driving conditions. So you can see how important it is to have a computer management system working properly.

Due to the complexities of this central system, mechanics need to be highly skilled technicians to efficiently identify risks, faults and apply proper maintenance. A slight malfunction of the running of the car may be caused by a loose wire between a sensor and the computer, or may be caused by a computer malfunction. Pearson Automotive mechanics and technicians are trained to test and assess the engine management system across the many and varied car makes and models. Even if you have a luxurious BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, right through to a Toyota Corolla, Pearson Automotive mechanics can safely assess the management system of your car to maximise performance, economy and longevity of your car. Repairs can be made in-house at Pearson Automotive of Milton.

Pearson Automotive's trained mechanics and technicians include the inspection of your car's engine management system during regular car services and logbook new car warranty services.
