Can a Faulty Sensor Cause a Vehicle to Stall?
1 Answers
It is possible. If the vehicle speed sensor is severely damaged, it can have the following impacts on the vehicle: 1. The engine malfunction indicator light will illuminate. 2. When starting the vehicle or decelerating to a stop while driving, there may be momentary hesitation or stalling. 3. The engine's acceleration performance may decline. 4. The speed displayed on the instrument panel may be inaccurate. 5. It can cause unstable engine idle, among other issues. Here is some additional information: 1. Name and Classification: The vehicle speed sensor, also known as the automobile speed sensor, can be categorized into three types: magnetic, Hall effect, and optical. 2. Function: It detects the speed of electronically controlled vehicles, and the control unit uses this input signal to manage engine idle speed, torque converter lock-up in automatic transmissions, automatic transmission shifting, the opening and closing of the engine cooling fan, cruise control, and other functions.
