The present disclosure generally relates to providing a centralized controller for actuators (4a-4c) within electronic control systems of a vehicle. An electronic control system within a vehicle computer system, having a first actuator (4a) for performing a first vehicle function, a second actuator (4b) for a performing second vehicle function and a controller (2) coupled to the first actuator (4a) and the second actuator (4b) for controlling the first and second actuators is provided such that the controller (2) is not embedded in either the first or second actuator (4a or 4b). Embodiments of a centralized controller (2) and a non-transitory machine-readable medium (99) on which a program is stored for providing instructions to a controller that utilizes the 1-Wire® and/or PoE protocols are also provided. Advantages include centralized manufacturing, simplified diagnostics, and streamlined software upgrades, all of which result in reduced costs.
