Control Units
This manual makes extensive references to three control units with different areas of responsibility. These units
are:
VCU:
Vehicle Control Unit – The customer supplied unit which has overall control to the vehicle. The VCU
sends commands to and receives status from the TCU
TCU:
Transmission Control Unit – The vendor supplied unit which controls the amount of torque supplied to
the vehicle’s drivetrain. The TCU receives commands from and reports status to the VCU. In turn, the
TCU uses the commands from the VCU to control the MCU.
MCU: Motor Control Unit – The vendor supplied unit which controls the vehicle’s motor. The MCU receives
commands from and reports status to the TCU. The MCU uses the commands from the TCU to control
speed of the motor, the electricity to drive the motor and the electricity generated by the motor. The
term MCU refers specifically to the DSP processor board located within the inverter.

NOTICE
Emphasizes important information or advice.
1.1.4
High Voltage Safety Information
DANGER
Exposure to high voltage can cause shock, burns, and even death.
Technicians with special training and knowledge are required to service the high
voltage components in the vehicle.
High voltage components are identified by labels. Do not remove, open, take apart, or
modify these components.
High voltage cable or wiring has an orange covering. Do not probe, tamper with, cut,
or modify high voltage cable or wiring.
