Lights control units

A vehicle control unit is an electronic module that controls and regulates various functions and processes of the engine and other technical systems of a vehicle. They were preceded by digital control units in electronic engine management systems, where they replaced the previous electromechanical ignition control. Later, they were also used for the electronic control of diesel engines. The increasing efficiency of electronic systems and the development of computer technology have allowed the development of control units with increasingly sophisticated functions. In addition, some new car models are equipped with more than 70 control units for various systems, such as special ESP (Electronic Stability Program) or ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) control units. In the process of operation, they receive the necessary data to control the various sensors. The control units visible to the driver are universal instruments with speedometer, tachometer and other devices. Safe driving is only possible if quality elements are chosen. One of these is the headlamp control units. Lights control units are needed to ensure the operation of the car lights.

When you have to replace your control unit?

Control unit malfunctions may be caused by damage to electronic components or moisture ingress. The signs of this can be very varied and depend on the specific functions of the unit. It can be anything from light indicators to interference during engine start-up, or even a complete failure of the technical system. For an accurate diagnosis, it is possible to read the control unit data on a computer using special software and hardware. In certain cases, the damaged control unit can be repaired. In other cases, it will have to be replaced. 

Often there are cases when the lights control unit simply won't work when inserted into the headlights - then adaptation to the headlight is necessary. Although this can be done by your own, it is best to rely on professionals to do this work.
