No. ECU generally stands for Engine Control Unit, i.e. the brain or nerve centre for engine. Without it - no go. With that said, not all cars have an ECU. An older car with a carburetor, old-fashioned distributor and all that will run quite happily entirely without anything even remotely similar to an ECU. A Diesel car may not have an ECU etc etc.
No.
No, the car will not start.
It varies from car to car, need more info.
Assuming you mean the engine ECU, the answer is no
Depending on what part of the ecu is bad, yes.
An ecu for this car would cost about $120
the ecu is reset when you disconnect the battery. after driving for awhile or letting the car idle in drive, your problem should be solved. the ecu is reset when you disconnect the battery. after driving for awhile or letting the car idle in drive, your problem should be solved.
There is not a single ECU sensor. There are dozens of sensors on this car that feed the ECU
A car will not operate without the a working ECU. If the computer is bad car will not turn on. A driver will not be able to use any of the engines accessories.
You do not have to reset the computer. The ECU will take care of itself and there is nothing you have to do but drive the car.
A car and a car's computer that is stated as ECU, their functioning are not inter-relative. Actually, it is just a pre-programmed control given to the car for some specific functions. Some examples are:- Power steering, Power brake, Electronic Fuel Injection Control, etc. So, the non-functioning of the ECU depends only upon the ECU itself. The problems may be:- 1. Whether the ECU's circuit-board is alright or not. 2. Whether it is getting the required input from the car or not. 3. Whether it is doing the processes it is programmed to do or not. 4. Whether it is giving the required output to the car or not.
An ECU is any of the electronic control units (computers) on the car.
