About ECU
What is the ECU/what does it do?
The term ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is a universal name given to a variety of electronic control systems found in a car. Collectively they make up the car's computer or brain which controls and regulates key components of the vehicle.
Getting into the details of the ECU
ECU’s are located within the dashboard or engine bay. It is often possible to ‘read’ or interrogate your car's various ECU’s using a laptop computer with relevant software and cable or a dedicated reader via a connection port which is usually located in the dashboard. This method is used by mechanics for diagnosis of certain vehicle faults.
An ECU controls or governs aspects of a car's systems including, but not limited to, the engine, ABS, suspension, automatic gearbox and power steering.
What if something goes wrong with the ECU?
Like any electronic component an ECU can fail for a number of reasons including short circuits, dry solder joints, water damage or age. Diagnosis is generally much easier with the correct reader which can be used to obtain error codes from ECU.
Renault Megane trivia
- The Renault Megane II was a very different car to the first-generation model. Launched in 2002, the second generation Megane has very little in common with its predecessor.
- The Renault Megane I was awarded a four-star crash test rating from Euro NCAP and was granted 'best in class' status.
- They are hard to find and expensive to buy, but there are a few Renault sport edition Phase 1 Renault Meganes in the world. Not many were made (official figures vary) and the line was discontinued, so if you have got one sitting in your garage, it is probably worth a mint.
- The first-ever Renault Megane was showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1995. It was intended to replace the Renault 19 and had many of the same elements, including the floor-pan and the design of the chassis.
- The Renault Megane II won the European Car of the Year award in 2003 and managed to beat the Mazda 6 and the Citroen C3.
