Does a faulty sensor in the Roewe RX5 affect driving?
1 Answers
It is not recommended to drive normally if the sensor in the Roewe RX5 is faulty, and it should be repaired as soon as possible. Below is relevant information about the sensor: Hazards of a faulty car sensor: The wheel speed sensor is usually installed on the hub of each wheel. Once it fails, the ABS will become ineffective. The air flow meter is generally installed between the air filter and the throttle body. If it fails, the engine speed will not increase. The water temperature sensor is usually located near the thermostat. If it fails, the engine will have difficulty starting during cold starts, idle unstably, and lack power during acceleration. Repair methods for a faulty car sensor: Disconnect the throttle position sensor's connector and use a multimeter in resistance mode to measure the resistance between the sensor's signal output terminal and the ground terminal. While connected, slowly change the throttle opening. The measured resistance should continuously increase with the throttle opening without any abrupt changes. Use the multimeter to measure the resistance between the sensor's idle contact (IDL) signal terminal and the ground terminal. When the throttle is closed, the resistance should be 0 ohms. As the throttle opens slightly to fully open, the resistance should be infinite.
