Powertrain Control Module - A power-train control module, shortened PCM, is an auto part, a control unit, utilized on engine vehicles. It is for the most part a joined regulator comprising of the motor control unit (ECU) and the transmission control unit (TCU). On certain vehicles, for example, numerous Chryslers, there are various PCs: the PCM, the TCU, and the Body Control Module (BCM), for a sum of three separate PCs. These auto PCs are for the most part entirely dependable. The PCM normally controls in excess of 100 variables in a vehicle or truck. There are a large number of blunder codes that can happen, which shows that some subsection of the vehicle is encountering an issue. At the point when one of these mistakes happens, typically it will turn on the "really look at motor" light on the dashboard. The PCM is one of possibly a few on-board PCs, or basically the "cerebrum" of the motor control system.The essential contributions to the PCM come from numerous sensors, of various sorts, that are spread around the vehicle. The majority of them are arranged toward motor administration and execution. These sensors fizzle at a lot higher rate than any of the PCs do.
