Diagnosis & Repair of the Fiat Engine Control Unit: The Professional Guide (ECU Doblo, Ducato…)

The Fiat engine control unit (ECU) is the electronic brain of the vehicle. It manages fuel injection, ignition, emissions control, and the immobilizer system. On very common models such as the Fiat Doblo, Ducato, Fiorino, Qubo, or Talento, an ECU failure can completely immobilize the vehicle.

Role and types of engine control units

The Fiat engine control unit (ECU) continuously analyzes data from sensors (crankshaft position, pressure, temperature, etc.) and controls actuators (injectors, EGR valve, turbocharger) to ensure proper engine operation.
