ABSTRACT:
An electronic controller 16 for use in controlling vehicle operation comprises first and second memories 22,24, the first containing a plurality of control procedures and data values for controlling the operation of the controller for use with a plurality of different vehicle types, the second containing a plurality of pointers for selecting an appropriate control procedure and appropriate data values for the particular type to which the controller 16 is fitted. Therefore, a single controller 16 can be used with a plurality of different vehicle types. A portable programmer 20 communicates with a host computer 12 of a vehicle assembly line 1 and programs the controllers 16 under control of the host 12. A programming unit 50 is provided at service garages for reprogramming fitted controllers 16 or for programming replacement controllers 16', and can communicate with the host computer 12 for control thereby. The possibility of human error in providing the correct controller 16 for a particular vehicle 10, or in reprogramming a fitted controller 16 or programming a replacement controller 16'is eliminated.
