Is Vehicle Sensor Failure Serious?
1 Answers
Automobile sensor failure is very serious. There are many sensors throughout a vehicle, and their roles are extremely important. These sensors work closely together, and once a sensor fails or malfunctions, the corresponding device cannot operate normally or may even stop working, thereby affecting the vehicle's operation. Below is relevant information: Oxygen Sensor: When the oxygen sensor fails, the ECU cannot obtain this information and thus cannot determine if the amount of gasoline injected is correct. An improper air-fuel ratio can lead to reduced engine power and increased emissions pollution; Wheel Speed Sensor: Its main function is to collect the vehicle's speed to detect any signs of skidding. Therefore, there is a specific sensor dedicated to collecting wheel speed, typically installed on the hub of each wheel. If this sensor is damaged, the ABS will fail.
