Where Are the Car Sensors Located?
1 Answers
Car sensors are generally located inside various components. For example, the tire pressure sensor is inside the car's wheels, the fuel sensor is inside the engine, and the coolant temperature sensor is inside the radiator. The oxygen sensor is an essential component for the engine to reduce exhaust pollution. It monitors the oxygen concentration in the exhaust and controls the fuel injection volume via feedback, thereby maintaining the air-fuel ratio of the mixture within the normal range. The oxygen sensor calculates the oxygen concentration based on chemical equilibrium to monitor the air-fuel ratio. Therefore, if the oxygen sensor fails, it cannot monitor the vehicle's exhaust emission values. At a certain temperature, high-concentration oxygen molecules inside the tube can be adsorbed to form electrons, creating a potential difference.
