Abstract
The air supply system of the vehicle engine includes a flow body that allows for the flow of air through a flow passage to the vehicle engine. An aluminum support mounts the engine control module. This support is then placed in communication with cool air flowing through the flow passage. Heat is accordingly dissipated from the engine control module. Because of the proximity of the air supply system to the vehicle engine, the wire harness for the engine control module is shortened.
