What sensors are there in the car?

What are auto sensors ? In fact, they are like the "sensory organs" of the car body. They are responsible for collecting the vehicle's status information, such as speed, temperature, distance, etc., converting this information into electrical signals, and transmitting them to the on-board computer, and then the computer makes corresponding decisions. , to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle.

There are many types of sensors, including electronic sensors, mechanical sensors, hydraulic sensors, etc. Electronic sensors, such as oxygen sensors, can monitor engine combustion conditions, help adjust the air-fuel ratio, ensure full combustion of fuel, and reduce air pollution; mechanical sensors, such as odometer sensors, can convert wheel rotation into electrical signals to calculate vehicle speed; Hydraulic sensors, such as hydraulic oil temperature sensors, can sense changes in hydraulic oil temperature to adjust the operation of the hydraulic system.

However, sensors are not indestructible. Prolonged use may cause sensor wear or failure, which may cause some malfunctions. For example, a brake pad wear sensor may falsely report a brake failure, giving you a false alarm. Therefore, regular inspection and maintenance are very important.
