The ECM uses sensors to detect the position of the crankshaft and camshafts. Using these signals, the ECM controls the ignition and synchronization of fuel at various speeds and loads. the appearance of a fault will cause the engine failure indicator lamp to light up and possibly lower the car’s performance.
