Things to Know About Top 3 Sensors Used in Your
Car
2
There are various sensors in your car which play
a pivotal role in the smooth running and better
performance of your car.
3
Moreover, these sensors are intricately related
to the engine transmission system and with
several other parts of the car.
4
Along with these parts, the sensors function
cohesively as a single unit to keep your car
running without any problems.
5
Here are the top 3 sensors of your car and the
things you should know about them.
6
Oxygen sensor
7
The oxygen sensor or the O2 sensor is one of the
most important sensors located on the exhaust
manifold and is directly related to the exhaust
system of the car.
8
It helps the car in the combustion process by
keeping a tab on the amount of unburned oxygen
present in the exhaust system.
9
When the oxygen sensor is heated it produces a
voltage signal based on the ratio of the oxygen
present in the exhaust system.
10
If the O2 sensor malfunctions then it will give
an erroneous voltage output which can result in
excess fuel being delivered to the engine and
will affect the performance of your car.
11
Mass air flow sensor
12
The mass air flow sensor or the MAF sensor is an
electrical sensor, which is integral to the
functioning of the engine.
13
Moreover, the MAF sensor functions by calculating
the amount of air that goes into the engine, in
terms of volume density.
14
Furthermore, it is equipped with a mesh screen
to break up air flow and prevent dirt debris
from entering the sensor.
15
Whenever there are some issues with the MAF
sensor then, you will experience rough idle,
stalling and poor fuel economy while driving your
car.
16
Throttle position sensor
17
The throttle position sensor is a variable
resistor which measures the direction of the
throttle valve based on the throttle movement.
18
The main purpose of this sensor is to provide
information to the electronic control module,
based on which the control module adjusts the
fuel delivery to compensate for the throttle
opening.
19
The control module monitor's the changes in the
transmission position sensor signal voltage
through which it is able to determine the
throttle angle calculates fuel delivery.
20
Whenever your car is experiencing a fast idle
condition then the issue can be related to the
malfunctioning of the throttle position sensor.
