He said he noticed one cable was visibly disconnected from the electronic control unit which he described as the brain in the system.

Following an inspection, Ferrari team members believe the engine may have beenincompatible with the special Electronic Control Unit introduced to F1 thisseason.

The improvements have been made possible by using new software on the engine's electronic control unit and by fitting a diesel particulate filter to the exhaust system.

has assembled 40 papers that provide a representative summary of SAE work on automotive functional (or system) safety, which refers to aspects of the overall safety of a vehicle that rely on the vehicle sub- systems (sensors, actuators, electronic control units, communication systems, and software) producing correct outputs or operating correctly in response to stimuli.

This means not only are there separate electronic control units, but also what can be considered redundant sensors, microprocessors, circuit boards, power suppliers, and housings.

The extra power comes via changes to the electronic control unit, which uprates the fuel supply and alters the ignition timing.

These have been achieved by improving the intake and exhaust systems while a new electronic control unit gives a quicker throttle response equivalent to that of the sporty M3 and M5 models.
