Why the life of Automotive Electronic Control Modules Varies?

Image
As technology continues to evolve and change, the way we operate and operate our vehicles is evolving. It appears that more and more components rely on computers, sensors, and capacitors. Examples of these technological advances are ECM or electronic control modules (engine control modules) or power train control modules. Many factors affect life expectancy.                                                                    Build Quality- As with the vehicle itself, the quality of manufacture of electronic control modules varies greatly, which in turn affects the useful life of the part. Some manufacturers use inferior components and install the circuit board into plastic housings. This is done to save costs and reduce the weight of the module. As a result, the life of the control module may be shortened. External Factors That Affect the Lifespan- Placement- Electronic Control Module when exposed to components in the engine compartment, the module is placed
