Electronic Control Unit
Aus automotive wiki
In the AUTOSAR sense an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) means a microcontroller plus peripherals with corresponding software. For software configuration each microcontroller requires its own ECU Configuration.
There are many different ECUs working inside a vehicle as the following list of examples shows:
