Where are the car sensors located in the engine?
1 Answers
Car sensors are located at the top dead center positions of cylinders 1 and 4 in the engine. These sensors provide information about the engine's operating conditions to the electronic control unit (ECU), enabling the ECU to perform precise calculations and control of the engine's operation. This improves engine power, reduces fuel consumption, minimizes exhaust emissions, and facilitates fault detection. The functions of car sensors are: 1. The air flow sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine; 2. The intake pressure sensor detects changes in the negative pressure of the intake manifold to determine the amount of air entering the engine; 3. The engine speed and camshaft position sensors measure engine speed and identify the position of the crankshaft; 4. The coolant temperature sensor measures the temperature of the engine coolant; 5. The intake temperature sensor controls the mass of air entering the engine based on intake temperature and atmospheric pressure during engine operation; 6. The knock sensor detects whether the engine experiences knocking; 7. The oxygen sensor measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gases; 8. The vehicle speed sensor measures the driving speed of the car.
