Q

What is a map sensor

A

It is a manifold absolute pressure sensor
It is an active sensor, the diagram flexes onto the piezo crystals.

17
Q

What is a Hall effect sensor

A

It is used as an on and off sensor uses square waves

18
Q

What is an mre sensor

A

Magnet resistant element
It is in theory 2 Hall effect sensors it is used to detect direction eg steering angle sensors or throttle position

19
Q

What is a temperature sensor

A

It used resistors to create signal

20
Q

What does positive coefficient mean

A

As temperature increases, the resistance increases

21
Q

What can effect speed sensors

A

Proximity, speed of wheel, and strength of magnet

22
Q

Is a map sensor an active sensor

A

Yes and it is type of strain gauge

23
Q

Is a Hall effect sensor measured in square waves ?

A

Yes it is

24
Q

How many wires are there in a Hall effect sensor

A

3 power ground and signal

25
Q

What is a transistor

A

It is a adjustable relay
