In order to improve the electromagnetic compatibility of powertrain control module (PCM), a system procedure of vehicular PCM electromagnetic alteration is presented in this paper. First of all, the box of the PCM is divided into different cabins to eliminate interferences between power supply circuit, analog circuit and digital circuit. Secondly, the working principle and electromagnetic (EM) characters of all the signals adopted by a typical PCM are analyzed. Then according to specific electromagnetic characters, different measures are adopted in corresponding signal process circuits or signal transfer cables, such as ground layout designing, power supply protecting, signal shielding and drive cable interference suppressing. Finally, further improvement may also needed regarding to practical electromagnetic compatibility test effects. The final test shows that, with all the measures mentioned above, the conducted emission of a PCM can be reduced by 20 dB; meanwhile, the radiated emission can be reduced by 30 dB comparing to the original system.
