Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM controls all of the ignition system functions, and constantly corrects the spark timing. The ECM monitors information from various sensor inputs that include the following:
- The throttle position (TP) sensor
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- The mass air flow (MAF) sensor
- The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor
- The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
- The engine knock sensor (KS)
- The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- The boost pressure sensor
