The ECM receives Signals from various sensors, switches, and other control modules. Using these signals, it determine the engine operating conditions and if necessary, emits signals to one or more systems to control them for optimum operation.

Major control items the ECM are as follow:
- Fuel injection control
- Ignition system control
- Idle air control
- Fuel pump control
- Canister purge control*1
- Radiator fan control*2
- On-board diagnosis function

*1: Canister purge control is described under "Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices) Evaporative Emission Control System".
*2: Radiator fan control is described under "Cooling".
