5 Automotive Sensors and Their Impact on Fuel Efficiency 1. Oxygen Sensor The oxygen sensor measures the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust gases. A faulty oxygen sensor can result in an incorrect air-fuel mixture, resulting in a rich or lean condition. Both scenarios can significantly reduce fuel efficiency. 2. Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor The MAF sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. An inaccurate reading can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, resulting in incomplete combustion and reduced fuel economy. 3. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) The TPS monitors valve position. A faulty TPS can provide incorrect information to the ECU, affecting the air-fuel mixture and causing the engine to run inefficiently. 4. Fuel Pressure Sensor This sensor measures the fuel pressure in the system. An inaccurate reading can result in an incorrect fuel-to-air ratio, resulting in reduced fuel efficiency and possible engine damage. 5. Temperature Sensor The engine temperature sensor monitors the coolant temperature. An incorrect reading can affect the engine's combustion process, resulting in suboptimal fuel efficiency and possible engine damage. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15cbWYskHL/
