It's sort of similar to when you upload songs from your computer to your iPod, or things similar. That ECU is controlling or responsible for more of a modern car's functions than ever before such as idle, fuel/air mixture, transmission shift points (automatic), electronic stability control, climate control, etc. Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Jun 10, 2009 2:10 pm)
