4.2.2 Main features
The control unit is fitted onto the engine compartment on a support integral to the engine (see
photos) and is able to withstand high temperatures.
It is of the digital, microprocessor-operated type, and features very high calculating capacity,
low energy consumption and no maintenance requirements.
The function of the electronic control unit is to process the signals from the various sensors by
applying software algorithms, and also drive the actuators (in particular, the electric injectors,
ignition coils, and the power-driven throttle) in order to achieve optimum engine operation.
The introduction of the Fiat CODE protection system does not make it possible to exchange
control units among different Fiat Punto vehicles of the same engine version.
