This paper investigates the response of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) in relation to abnormal engine operation. Four different faults are introduced in a physical engine model at random times during simulation to observe the effects on the model results and system behaviour. It is then shown that the sensors used throughout the engine model are capable of detecting any type of fault using signals for quantities that would be measurable in a real engine. Finally, the soft ECU switches to emergency/limpo home operation and limits the engine performance to help prevent what could be mechanical damage in a real engine.
