The invention discloses a function test system applied to an automobile electronic control unit. The system includes: an industrial computer, a direct current power supply, a desk type digital multimeter, a signal generator, a matrix module, a power supply transformation module, a communication transformation module, a high-power switch group, a current loop, a simulation load, a needle bed jig, a bar code scanning device, a signal indicating lamp, a direct current matrix switch, an emergency stop button, an electricity leakage circuit breaker, a cooling fan, a display, a UPS (uninterruptible power supply), and an alternating current extension module. Each module of the system is independent; the overall performance is more reliable; the upgrade of an independent module does not affect other modules to work; and the reliability in using the function test system is ensured.
