What Are the Types of Automotive Sensors?

[JuliaRose]

Here are the types of automotive sensors: 1. Throttle Position Sensor; The throttle position sensor is installed on the throttle to detect the throttle opening. 2. Intake Pressure Sensor; The intake pressure sensor can measure the absolute pressure in the intake manifold based on the engine's load condition and convert it into an electrical signal, which is sent to the computer along with the speed signal as the basis for determining the basic fuel injection amount. 3. Crankshaft Position Sensor; The crankshaft angle sensor is the most important sensor in a computer-controlled ignition system. Its function is to detect top dead center signals, crankshaft angle signals, and engine speed signals, and input them into the computer, enabling the computer to issue the optimal ignition timing command according to the cylinder's firing order. 4. Air Flow Sensor; The air flow sensor converts the inhaled air into an electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control unit (ECU) as one of the basic signals for determining fuel injection. 5. Knock Sensor; The knock sensor is installed on the engine block to continuously monitor the engine's knock condition. 6. Temperature Sensor; 7. Engine Speed Sensor; 8. Vehicle Speed Sensor (SPD), etc.
