Sensors for Engine Management

Mass Airflow Sensors

A growing focus on reducing CO2 emissions means that mass airflow sensors are becoming increasingly important in ensuring the optimum air fuel ratio. To read more get to the VDO Homepage here.

Wheel Speed Sensors

The wheel speed signal is crucial for electronic systems like ABS or ASC. See the Wheel Speed Sensors on the VDO Homepage here.

Camshaft Sensors

The camshaft sensor is located in the cylinder head and reads the camshaft sprocket to determine the position of the camshaft. Read more about it on the VDO Homepage.

Crankshaft Sensors

The crankshaft sensor supplies information on the crankshaft’s current position, which the engine management system can then use to calculate rpm. These values make it possible to determine the most economical fuel injection and ignition timing for a vehicle. See the Crankshaft Sensors on the VDO Homepage here.

Knock Sensors

Knock sensors reliably measure the vibration of the engine block that is characteristic of engine knocking. This allows the firing angle and other parameters to be set such that the engine continues to function correctly close to the knock threshold. Read more about it on the VDO Homepage.

Pressure Sensors

MAP and T-MAP sensors measure the air pressure in the intake manifold behind the throttle valve to determine air intake. This information is extremely important for calculating the amount of fuel to be injected to ensure the correct air fuel mix. Read more about it on the VDO Homepage here.
