What does Pajero sensor open circuit mean?
2 Answers
Pajero sensor open circuit means the signal wire is broken. Automotive sensors are input devices for the vehicle's computer system, converting various operational conditions such as speed, temperature of different mediums, and engine operating conditions into electrical signals for the computer, ensuring the engine operates in optimal condition. Features of the Pajero: 1. Exterior: The overall design continues the current model, maintaining a boxy and straight style with the front grille extending to the lower bumper, complemented by rectangular headlights on both sides, giving a retro appearance; 2. Powertrain: Equipped with a 3.0L V6 naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 255Nm; 3. Transmission: Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, and all models come standard with the second-generation Super Select 4WD system.
Sensor open circuit means there is a break in the car's sensor circuit, preventing signals from reaching the control computer. In a Mitsubishi Pajero, this could be caused by a broken or loose connection wire of a sensor, such as a common oxygen sensor or temperature sensor. Causes of open circuits include aging wires being worn through, loose connectors leading to water ingress and rust, or internal failure of the sensor itself. If this fault code suddenly appears while driving, the car may shake, have poor acceleration, or even trigger the engine warning light. You can check the fuses and wire connections yourself, but it's best to have a professional repair shop use a diagnostic tool to locate the exact issue to prevent potential safety hazards. During regular maintenance, pay attention to whether the wiring harness is damaged, and clean off mud and water after off-roading to prevent open circuit problems.
