In the present-gen cars, several sensors are equipped to ensure the cars function efficiently
Recently, we published the first part of the article, but we couldn’t point out all the sensors because of limited wordcount. Therefore, as the title reads; here’s the second part of the article that we have jotted down to inform you about some more sensors that are found in cars these days.
Vehicle speed sensor- The vehicle speed sensor is used to detect the speed of the vehicle (wheels of the vehicle, not the engine) and it forwards the data to the tachometer. The sensor is commonly set within the ABS.
Throttle position sensor- The throttle position sensor draws feedback from the carburettor or the fuel injection system and sends data to the electronic control unit of the car about the rate at which the throttle opens and the relative throttle’s position.
Voltage sensor- The voltage sensor in the car manages the speed of the car. It also ensures the speed of the car is increased or decreased as per the requirement of the driver.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor- Known as the MAP sensor, this sensor in the car is installed to keep an eye on the load of the engine. It also calculates the dissimilarities among the manifold pressure. The pressure inside the engine keeps changing and therefore, the MAP sensor checks if the engine can receive the petroleum.
Ultrasonic sensor- In modern-day cars, you must’ve heard them emitting noise or beep when they move backwards. In case the cars get too close to an object in the rear, the noise or beep becomes louder. This sensor is known as an ultrasonic sensor. It is usually installed in a car to provide the driver with assistance while parking. The sensor emits high-frequency pulses (the beep/noise is a pulse) and calculates the time the pulses take to bounce back to the car after hitting the object in the rear.
Proximity sensor- Unlike ultrasonic sensors, proximity sensors emit electromagnetic waves and warn the driver when he or she is about to hit an object. Proximity sensors are installed on the front and rear bumper of the cars.
Rain sensor- Rain sensors are automatically turned on in a car when the sensors detect the raindrops on the windscreen. A beam of infrared light touches the windscreen of a vehicle continuously when the ignition is on. When the rain falls on the screen, the reflection is diminished or disrupted and thus, the rain sensor gets activated.
