Engine Control Module: Description and Operation

Electronic Control Assembly (ECA)

PURPOSE

The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) is the brain of the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system with the capability of failure detection and
self-diagnosis. The ECA is specifically calibrated for each vehicle application, providing the best possible combination of low emissions, fuel
economy, and driveability. On 2.2L non-turbo applications, the ECA also contains the microprocessor that controls the 4-speed Electronic
Automatic Transaxle (4EAT).

OPERATION

Based on information received and programmed into its memory, the ECA generates output signals to control various relays, solenoids, and other
actuators.
