The PCM internal microcontroller and powertrain sensing electronics require an insurance policy that closely monitors the power rails and execution timing to provide a health check. This design solution evaluates supervisory and watchdog-timer (WDT) ICs and explains their function as an engineering aid to help keep the automotive engine running safely, reliably, and smoothly.

The Nissan Micra is now available with an Xtronic automatic transmission for the first time since the all-new fifth generation car was launched in 2016. It is linked to the same all-new 1.0-litre IG-T 100 PS engine detailed above.
