Functionality of vehicle software
In many vehicles, the central body control unit has the task of monitoring the software of the engine control unit. If this software is damaged or modified, the central body control unit detects an error and stores it in its error memory.
Due to the great complexity of the vehicle software, a precise investigation of the error that has occurred is then unfortunately not usually possible without special, manufacturer-specific test equipment. Software errors often indicate that the software of the engine control unit is faulty or that the engine control unit is defective.It is therefore advisable to analyze an error in detail with a specialist.
