The "Electronic control module" or "Engine control module" depending on what year the vehicle is; controls the Ignition emission or exhaust controls on any engine that is in use in the United States by way of "environmental protection agency" law, that is mandated for every model year. Each year, make and model have their own regulations. The ECM controls the engine by way of ignintion and or valve train surpression and chemical control of the exhaust or oxygen sensors to adjust the timing or both. The ECM does this by way of sensors placed in strategic positions on the engine. Oxygen sensors, cam, crankshaft, intake pressure, intake temperature, exhaust temperature, manifold absolute pressure, Vehicle speed sensor and ABS"antilock brake sensors" are just some of the sensors that are employed.
These sensors are input into the ECM and a desired effect is transmitted to the control circuits including the transmission control module, transmission shift solenoids, Transmission lock up sonenoid, idle air control solenoid, EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) valve and many more.
Many countries have their own laws that are similar. Each is unique. None are the same.

it certainly could by having a torque sensor on the output shaft.
It uses the sensors to do calculated control over the engine.
everything.
