Symptoms Of A Bad Mass Air Flow Sensor
by
in AutomobileAn automobile component that measures the amount of mass airflow into an engine’s inlet is called a mass airflow (MAF) sensor. To determine how much fuel is needed for the optimal air-fuel ratio (AFR), this measurement is crucial. When there is a faulty mass air flow sensor, the engine control model or ECM does not…
Understanding Hall Effect Sensor
The Hall effect is named after Edwin Hall, who discovered in 1879 that when a magnetic field passes through a current-carrying conductive plate in a direction perpendicular to the plate’s plane, a voltage potential arises across the plate. The Lorentz force, depicted in the upper panel, is the underlying physical principle underpinning the Hall effect.…
Understanding Camshaft Position Sensor
by
in AutomobileA camshaft position sensor is found in every modern automobile. This sensor is an essential component of any car since it ensures that the engine is operating correctly. When looking under the hood of your car, you can have problems finding the sensor. Typically, each car manufacturer will have its unique location for putting the…
