Abstract: Engine control Unit (ECU) is an important part of modern engine. Telematics is one of the latest enhancements to the sophisticated electronic control mechanisms which aid us in extracting the greatest possible efficiency, utility and safety information from our vehicles. In a vehicles the size of the number of microcontrollers increases day by day. For example, luxury vehicles may have up to 100 on-board microprocessors in the near future. Automotive electronics has become a technology driven by competitive decisions. Overall complexity and dependency on software have increased over the period. So it is highly important to test and validate the performance and features of the ECU before deploying it in actual working environment. To generate the automated test environment for ECU. Before this manually testing was done which is time consuming and many of drawbacks in that testing. To Reduce the Testing efforts in Actual test environment, NI Test Stand and LabVIEW is used for the test automation that provide many of benefits. Well documented test results, Comprehensive execution of specified test. Compared with manual testing the verification of several variants in the same amount of time. Shorter testing intervals[1].
