Where is the engine sensor located?
1 Answers
Engine sensors are essential components of modern vehicles, primarily categorized by their location into crankshaft position sensors and camshaft position sensors. The crankshaft position sensor is used to detect engine speed and provide the crankshaft angle. The ECU uses the signal from the crankshaft position sensor to determine fuel injection quantity and ignition timing, ensuring the vehicle can start properly. The sensor is installed near the flywheel. Introduction to engine sensors: 1. Camshaft position sensor: Used to detect the top dead center position of cylinders 1 and 4. 2. Coolant temperature sensor: Used to monitor the temperature of the cooling system. 3. Intake air temperature sensor: Used to measure the temperature of air entering the engine. 4. Intake manifold pressure sensor: Ensures precise calculation of air entering the engine to form the optimal air-fuel mixture. 5. Oxygen sensor: Helps control vehicle emissions.
