Now we have a complete system with a control module which can control quantity of fuel, idling speed, ignition setting, air conditioning (switch off the AC compressor), engine cooling fan (FC), EGR system, EVAP system and boost pressure.
Furthermore the system is adaptive has emergency programs and an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system.
The system we have used as an example is the Motronic 4.3 on a 1994 model year Volvo 850 Turbo for the USA market.
Even if a part of the system has separate control modules for the fuel, ignition and boost pressure controls and in certain cases fewer functions, the basic principles are the same for all of Volvo's electronic engine management systems.
What one learns one might forget. What one has understood one never forgets.
