How to check if the transmission control unit is faulty? Symptoms of failure and the best solution

  An automatic transmission is a comfort you quickly get used to, but when it starts acting up, it becomes a source of serious stress and expense. Very often the culprit is not the mechanical side (gears, clutches), but the “brain” of the operation – the transmission control unit (TCU/TCM). How can you recognize that the control electronics are failing? And why, ...

How to check if the engine control unit (ECU) is faulty?

  The engine control unit, commonly known as the ECU (Engine Control Unit), is the most important computer in your car. It is responsible for precise control of fuel injection, ignition timing, boost pressure, and many other parameters. When this component fails, the vehicle becomes unpredictable or may completely stop working. How can you tell that the problem lies with the ...

Can an ABS Pump Control Unit Be Repaired?

The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is a key safety feature that prevents the wheels from locking during braking and helps maintain steering control. The component responsible for managing this system is the ABS pump control unit — an electronic module integrated with the hydraulic block. Failures of this component are quite common, especially in older vehicles, and fortunately, in most ...
