Q

A reluctance type sensor reads what?

A

Rpm

17
Q

How does a TPS work?

A

The movement of the pedal generates a variety of voltage signals

18
Q

At full throttle, what kind of voltage could the ECm see through the tps

A

5 volts

19
Q

Why are fault codes logged into the memory

A

So a technician can determine if the problem is isolated or systemic

20
Q

When using the SAE fault code system, the type of failure is determined by what

A

A 2 digit failure mode identifier number

21
Q

What the difference between a hard code and a soft code?

A

Hard codes are active soft codes are stored

22
Q

Positive coefficients temp means what?

A

As temp rises resistance also rises.

23
Q

Negative coefficient of temp means what?

A

As temp rises resistance decreases

24
Q

Converting analog to a digital signal is called what

A

Encoding
