What is engine management?

The engine management system is a key feature of modern cars, vans and commercial vehicles. It is the computer that controls the vehicle's important electronic systems such as for fuel, safety devices and sensors, as well as the vehicle's transmission. Information collected from these different systems is sent back to a central module; the vehicle’s engine management system.

What kind of information is collected by the engine management system?

A range of information is collected by the engine management module. This includes distance travelled, driving and idling times, fuel consumption, braking (including number and harshness of braking occurrences), speeding and also over and under revving.
