The ECU or control unit is a fundamental part of how our car works.

We can say they are small computers in charge of ensuring the proper operation of the most important systems in our vehicle.

At first, cars only had one unit, the engine one.

It was used to control the amount of fuel to burn during combustion, as well as the revs and idle speed.

However, over the years and with the evolution of integrated circuits:

We have witnessed not only an increase in the functions carried out by the engine control unit, but also the addition of other units.

The latter usually take care of controlling one specific system individually.

Such as the ABS, the airbag, the instrument cluster, door locking or the climate control system.

• Motherboard repair: in many cases, and always depending on the severity of the fault, it is possible to repair the motherboard. Of all our solutions, this is usually the cheapest. However, we must stress that in the presence of serious damage such as breakage from contact with water, or burning, other alternative procedures will be necessary.
• Cloning: This consists of copying the information held in an irreparable unit to a new one. At our premises we have the technology and the means needed to extract and copy the information from any unit, regardless of its degree of deterioration.
• Replacement: In cases where it is not possible to repair or clone the central unit, we will ship a new unit with the original factory data for the corresponding car model.
