There's no such thing.
Go to an engineering college, where among other things, you'll learn to program in various assembly languages and design advanced circuitry. Perhaps then you'll be able to even slightly grasp what happens inside of a car's ECU. All of it is coded in a VERY low level language, which is required for applications where speed is crucial, so I guess you could start with a basic programming course.
An ECU programming course could/would not exist unless it's an elective at the engineering school you're attending, but even then the technology car manufacturers use for their ECUs are proprietary and you probably wont find out either way.
ECU just tells the car what to do, when. its the brain. it usually deals with the engine, transmission, and other passive driving things like ABS and traction control. Very useful ECU programmer (Vipprogrammer.com) is used for reading and programming ECU content of eeprom file (or ROM memory with maps if eeprom physically not present).
The ecu (or PCM) is the drivetrain computer. A flash update is just like a Windows or Mac program update. The manufacturer has altered the code and it has to be installed on the computer. The shop uses a bi-directional scan tool to load in the new software. They do the same thing when they install a rebuilt computer--they have to install the software. Car ECU progammer is used for reading and programming ECU content of eeprom file (or ROM memory with maps if eeprom physically not present). there have many different ecu modify * re-programming tools from vipprogrammer.com
Assuming you mean the engine ECU, the answer is no
There is not a single ECU sensor. There are dozens of sensors on this car that feed the ECU
Depending on what part of the ecu is bad, yes.
An ecu for this car would cost about $120
It varies from car to car, need more info.
No.
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.
An ECU is any of the electronic control units (computers) on the car.
No, but of course there is a programmers' slang. And programming is done with so-called 'programming languages'.
AnswerThat is Electronic Control Unit, the computer. If you blow or remove the ECU fuse the car will not run.
