ABSTRACT:
Electronic control apparatus for a vehicle, in particular a heavy goods vehicle, which apparatus includes an electronic control unit (ECU) adapted to control actuation of vehicle brakes. The ECU has a non volatile storage memory for storing braking related control parameters particular to the vehicle and a discretely programmable storage device to carry operating data for one or more auxiliary functions of the vehicle. The ECU is operable to check one or more incoming and outgoing variables and control algorithms against a predefined list such as to safeguard the braking function against error modes.
