Trang 2Thermistors are commonly used to
measure the temperature of liquids and
ambient air
A thermistor is a solid-state variable
resistor made from a semiconductor material that have very reproducible resistance
verses temperature properties
2
Trang 3There are two types of thermistors:
negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
thermistors and positive temperature

Trang 5Thermistors: Water Temperature Sensor
5
The water temperature sensor is typically
located near the cylinder head water
outlet
Trang 6Position and Motion Detection Sensors
Many electronic systems require input data concerning position, motion, and speed
Most motion and speed sensors use a
magnet as the sensing element or sensed
target to detect rotational or linear speed
6
Trang 7A common position sensor used to monitor linear or rotary motion is the potentiometer
A potentiometer is a voltage divider that
provides a variable DC voltage reading to the computer

Trang 9Potentiometer: Vane type airflow meter
The potentiometer converts the mechanical movement of the measuring plate into a
variable voltage signal

Trang 10Potentiometer: Vane type airflow meter
Movement of the measuring plate and
the analog voltage signal produced by thissensor are proportional to the volume of airentering the intake manifold

Intake air flow reacting against the vortex
generator creates a swirling effect to the air
downstream, very similar to the wake created in the water after a boat passes

Trang 16Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensors
16
The Mass Air Flow Sensors converts the amount of air drawn into the engine into a voltage
signal.
Trang 17Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensors
17
The air flow sensor is located directly in the
intake air stream, between the air
cleaner and throttle body where it can measure incoming air
Trang 18Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensors
Wheatstone Bridges
18
A Wheatstone bridge is nothing more than two simple series circuits connected in parallel across a power supply
When all four resistors have the same value, the bridge is balanced and the voltage sensor will indicate a value of 0 volts

The thermistor measures the temperature of the incoming air
The hot wire is maintained at a constant
temperature in relation to the thermistor by the electronic control circuit
An increase in air flow will cause the hot wire
to lose heat faster and the electronic control
circuitry will compensate by sending more
current through the wire
The electronic control circuit simultaneously measures the current flow and puts out a
voltage signal (VG) in proportion to current
flow
Trang 21Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
21
In the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)
sensor there is a silicon chip mounted inside a
reference chamber On one side of the chip is a reference pressure On the other side is the
pressure to be measured
Trang 22Magnetic Pulse Generator
The components of the pulse generator are:
1 A timing disc that is attached to the
rotating shaft or cable The number of teeth
on the timing disc is determined by the
manufacturer and depends on application
2 A pickup coil consists of a permanent
magnet that is wound around by fine wire

Trang 24Magnetic Pulse Generator

Position/speed sensors provide information to
the ECM about the position of a component, thespeed of a component, and the change in speed
of a component
Trang 25Magnetic Pulse Generator
25
This system consists of a gear (reluctor wheel), that is mounted on the distributor shaft, has a
number of teeth equaled to number of engine
cylinders, permanent magnet and pick up coil
wrapped around the magnet
Trang 26Hall-Effect Sensors
26
Based on the principle that if a current is
allowed to flow through thin conducting
material that is exposed to a magnetic
field, another voltage is produced

Trang 30Switch Inputs
30
Switches are simplest of all input devices
The computer monitors the two states of
the switch by measuring the voltage on the
sense circuit
There are two types of voltage sensing
circuits used with switches; the pull-down
circuit and the pull-up circuit
