Different Generations of Ford EEC
The Ford EEC (Electronic Engine Control) system has gone through several generations, each with its own unique features and capabilities. Here are the different generations of Ford EEC:
1. EEC-I, EEC-II, etc.: Earlier versions were used mainly for just fuel injection. These versions were used for basic engine control and fuel injection.
2. EEC-IV: This is the simpler of the two systems. It is capable of running various engines as long as it’s hooked up properly and programmed correctly. Most emission-related and government-regulated requirements are deleted from the EEC-IV system, but it is still capable of handling vital controls and sensors.
3. EEC-V DPC: European Ford Diesel Duratorq engines used the EEC-V DPC-xxx series, which utilized a variant of the Intel i196 microcontroller with 28F200 flash memory. These ECUs were later replaced by other manufacturers such as Delphi, Bosch, Siemens, or Visteon.
4. Visteon Levanta: The Visteon Levanta ‘Black Oak’ PCM is the first ECU that used Freescale PowerPC architecture. It was used in Ford Mondeo, Galaxy, Focus, and Ka with 1.8/2.0/2.5/3.0 Duratec HE/I4 engines.
5. EEC-150: EEC-150 was used for 3.0/4.0 V6/4.0 V8 engines.
These different generations of Ford EEC have evolved over time to meet the changing needs of engine control and fuel injection in Ford vehicles.
I hope this information provides a clear understanding of the different generations of Ford EEC! If you have any further questions or need more details, feel free to ask.

What is the EEC on an engine?
electronic control
The EEC is an electronic control, mounted on the engine or engine fan case, drawing power from an engine alternator to receive data from sensors measuring pilot commands and monitoring flight and engine conditions such as throttle position, fuel flow, temperature, vibration, and pressure.
Is the EEC and PCM the same?
PCM = Powertrain Control Module. This is located, as you surmised, in the passenger side kick panel. According to the 1993 Service Manual, PC/ED Glossary, the EEC processor is what the PCM was called previously.
What does EEC relay stand for?
The eec relay is the Electronic Engine Control relay. This is the relay that sends power to the computer and related sensors. This is located under the hood and has a brown connector going to it.
What is EEC called now?
It was created by the Treaty of Rome of 1957. Upon the formation of the European Union (EU) in 1993, the EEC was incorporated and renamed the European Community (EC).
What is the EEC in simple terms?
The European Economic Community (EEC) was a regional organisation created by the Treaty of Rome of 1957, aiming to foster economic integration among its member states. It was subsequently renamed the European Community (EC) upon becoming integrated into the first pillar of the newly formed European Union in 1993.
What is the difference between EEC and FADEC?
With EEC, we get electronic ignition and some computer control such as ignition timing and air/fuel mixture. EEC is also more reliable than magnetos. Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) means just that. There is no direct pilot control over the engine or manual control mode.
What does Ford PCM stand for?
Power-train control module
Engine control unit is also called: PCM: Power-train control module (Ford, GM, JLR) ECM: Engine control module.
What is Ford EEC 4?
Unlike previous EEC systems, EEC-IV uses a small ignition module called the TFI or TFI-IV (Thick Film Integrated Ignition) module. It is usually grey in color and was originally mounted on the distributor. Later models have the TFI module mounted on a heatsink in the engine compartment. It is prone to damage from heat.
What does EEC stand for on a car?
Electronic Engine Control (EEC)
What’s the difference between a ECM and a PCM?
As mentioned above, the ECM only controls engine timing, cooling, fuel : air ratios, and the exhaust. However, a PCM can do everything an ECM does but also coordinates with sensors to control the transmission.
