| n automotive electronics, an electronic control unit (ECU), also called a control unit or control module, is an embedded system that controls one or more of the electrical subsystems in a vehicle. Some modern cars have up to 70 ECUs, including: Engine Control Unit also called Power train Control Module (PCM), Transmission Control Unit - TCU, Telephone Control Unit - TCU, Man Machine Interface - MMI, Door Control unit, Seat Control Unit, Climate Control Unit. Managing the increasing complexity of ECUs and number of ECUs in a vehicle has become a key challenge for OEMs. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a computerized system designed to improve a vehicle's handling by intervening at the limits of traction and helping the driver maintain control of the vehicle. Robert Bosch GmbH and Mercedes Benz co-developed the first ESC system called Elektronisches Stabilitätsprogramm for the flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan. ESC first came to general notice after a Mercedes-Benz A-Class car (without ESC) failed the moose test. Because Mercedes-Benz promotes its reputation for safety,[1] Mercedes recalled and retrofitted 130,000 Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars with ESC. | |||
