SENDING UNITS AND SENSORS


NOTE
This section describes the operating principles of sending units, warning lights and gauges. Sensors which provide information to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) are covered in of this guide.

Instrument panels contain a number of indicating devices (gauges and warning lights). These devices are composed of two separate components. One is the sending unit, mounted on the engine or other remote part of the vehicle, and the other is the actual gauge or light in the instrument panel.

Several types of sending units exist, however most can be characterized as being either a pressure type or a resistance type. Pressure type sending units convert liquid pressure into an electrical signal which is sent to the gauge. Resistance type sending units are most often used to measure temperature and use variable resistance to control the current flow back to the indicating device. Both types of sending units are connected in series by a wire to the battery (through the ignition switch). When the ignition is turned ON , current flows from the battery through the indicating device and on to the sending unit.

What is Barometric Pressure Sensor?

The Barometric Pressure Sensor is a device that senses barometric pressure and sends an electrical signal to the CPU for optimum engine control. Barometric pressure changes with the weather and with altitude. Since it affects the density of the air entering the engine and ultimately the air/fuel ratio, some computerized emissions control systems use a barometric pressure sensor so that the spark advance and EGR flow can be regulated to control emissions more precisely.

The Barometric sensor Also known as Atmospheric pressure sensor.

"The atmospheric pressure sensor, informs the control module of the current atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is used to calculate smoke limitation. The greater the car's altitude, the less oxygen there is in the air. The fuel supply must therefore be reduced. Atmospheric pressure also controls the boost pressure, which must be reduced at high altitudes to prevent the turbocharger from over revving.

Coolant Level Sensor on Audi A4?

If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

The details are as follows :----

Coolant Level Sensor

The coolant level sensor, located in the coolant reservoir, sends a signal to the indicator light in the instrument cluster to warn the driver of a low coolant level.

Testing

If the level of the coolant in the reservoir is full, and the indicator light in the instrument cluster is illuminated, proceed as follows:

1. With the key in the ON position, unplug the harness connector from the coolant reservoir.
2. Using a suitable jumper wire, connect the two terminals together.
3. With the key in the ON position, and the terminals bridged, the light in the instrument cluster should extinguish.
4. If the light extinguishes, replace the coolant level sensor.
5. If the light continues to illuminate, check the wiring circuit for broken terminals, blown fuses, cut wires, etc.
