Abstract : This report is based on Electronic Control Unit (ECU)’s validation process for Input (crank signal) and Output Drivers (injector and ignition coil signals) characteristics, because of the code flashed on ECU using IDE for particular microcontroller that controls the injector driver and ignition driver pulses respectively. Based on the given PWM Input signal (crank signal) it will give injector and ignition pulses , which is used to obtain ECUs best result using generated and flashed code on microcontroller on virtual environment setup. Hardware-in-loop setup is act as a virtual engine setup, which gives the input sensor signals to ECU for their best performance under test on bench or in lab testing. Design of a fully programmable, ECU must make use of all the temperature, pressure, position and speed sensors as well as the original injectors and ignition coils that are already available on the engine. The ECU must provide the user access to all the maps and allow their full customization simply by connecting it to a PC. This will provide the user with the capability to adjust the engine’s performance to its needs quickly and easily.
