What Happens When a Volkswagen's Sensor Fails?

[AaliyahLee]

When a Volkswagen's sensor fails, the following situations may occur: 1. Symptoms of a faulty vehicle speed sensor: unstable engine idle; momentary stalling or engine shutdown when starting or decelerating to stop; reduced engine acceleration performance; deviation in the speed displayed on the dashboard; engine warning light illuminates. 2. Manifestations of a faulty throttle position sensor: If the throttle position sensor is misadjusted, it cannot ensure the correct ignition timing and air-fuel mixture ratio. The throttle position sensor should be precisely adjusted to the specified voltage reading. If adjusted too low, knocking may occur during acceleration due to insufficient exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). If adjusted too high, excessive exhaust gas recirculation may reduce power output. 3. Manifestations of a faulty coolant temperature sensor: If the coolant temperature sensor malfunctions, the engine may experience unstable idle, misfires, stalling, or increased fuel consumption.
