What are the effects of a faulty oil sensor on a car?
1 Answers
If the oil sensor is faulty, it can have the following effects on the car: 1. The oil warning light will stay on continuously; 2. It will be impossible to know the real-time condition of the oil; 3. The engine may be completely damaged. The oil pressure sensor is a micro-electromechanical system that integrates a micro-sensor, actuator, signal processing and control circuit, interface circuit, communication, and power supply into one unit. The oil pressure sensor is installed in the main oil passage of the engine. When the engine is running, the pressure measurement device detects the oil pressure, converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal, and sends it to the signal processing circuit. After voltage and current amplification, the amplified pressure signal is transmitted via the signal line to the oil pressure gauge. This changes the ratio of current passing through the two coils inside the oil pressure gauge, thereby indicating the engine's oil pressure.
