Sensors 1 Flashcards
Where is the throttle position sensor located
Adjacent to the throttle level
What is the voltage on a throttle position sensor at idle
Roughly 0.5 volts
What is the voltage of the throttle position sensor at WOT
4.5 volts
What does the PCM adjust with the throttle position sensor
Fuel mixture and ignition timing
What is a common fault with throttle position sensors
Burns a hole in the resister and causes a hesitation
What does the ECT measure
Engine temperature
What is the mixture of air to fuel when car is cold
Rich to prevent stalling
Where is the engine coolant temp sensor located
Near the thermostat housing
Negative temperature coefficient
Decreases in resistance as the temperature of the sensor increases
What does a stepped resister do
Broadens the range of the ECT
How many wires are there on a throttle position sensor
3 wire potentiometer
What will a broken ECT read
-40 degrees F
How many wires on an ECT
2
What does a heated oxygen sensor measure
Oxygen content of the exhaust
Pre-CAT adjusts…..
Fuel mixture
Post-CAT monitors…..
CAT efficiency
Pre cat volts
