Electronic Engine Controls: Introduction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XK and 2010 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electronic engine control (EEC) system operates the engine to generate the output demanded by the accelerator pedal and loads imposed by other systems. The electronic engine control (EEC) system has an engine control module (ECM) that uses a torque-based strategy to evaluate inputs from sensors and other systems, then produces outputs to engine actuators to produce the required torque.
The electronic engine control (EEC) system controls the following:
- Charge air
- Fueling
- Ignition timing
- Valve timing
- Cylinder knock
- Idle speed
- Engine cooling fan
- Evaporative emissions
- On-board diagnostics
- Immobilization system interface
- Speed control.
