Abstract

The vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to be validated and verified in accordance with client specifications. Adequate prototyping and testing are essential, in order to speed up assembly cycle time, automation in testing replaces manual testing by human operators on an ongoing basis. Before installing the ECU in the vehicles, the hardware-in-loop (HiL) environment is used to test it. The HiL setup for testing ECU to find the driving warning, which is a critical failure, is the main topic of this study. The failure data is recorded in the memory together with the failure's date, time, and cause. The problem in the ECU is further diagnosed using the stored data. The history data storage (HDS) feature in non-volatile memory (NVM) will save various data for each major failure. The HiL makes it possible to test the ECU in real-time conditions in the lab. Additionally, it offers a setting that is similar that of a car. In HiL ECUs communicate with one another using the CAN communication protocol.
