I want to discuss something today that could surprise you. Have you ever heard of someone operating a vehicle without an O2 sensor? Some people engage in this practice, but is it actually secure and beneficial for your car?  I’ll explain what an O2 sensor is in this article, what happens when it’s unplugged, and—most…

This article will provide an overview of the Navien air pressure sensor bypass, a cost-effective solution for controlling air pressure in a home or office. The bypass allows you to make adjustments to the air pressure without having to replace the entire pressure sensor.  We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using this bypass,…

The 6.0 ICP sensor, also known as the Injection Control Pressure sensor, is a critical component of a Ford 6.0 liter diesel engine’s operation. This sensor is in charge of monitoring the pressure in the fuel injection system and transmitting that data to the engine control module.  However, when the sensor fails or begins to…

The crankshaft position sensor will not be reset if the battery is disconnected. It may have an effect on other sensors or systems connected to the vehicle’s computer, but it will not specifically reset or affect the CKP sensor. If the CKP sensor fails, it must be diagnosed and repaired or replaced by a mechanic….

If a Mercedes vehicle’s radar sensor becomes dirty, it can impair the vehicle’s ability to function properly. The radar sensor is used for several safety features, including adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and lane departure warning.  If the sensor becomes dirty, it may be unable to detect objects or obstacles in the path of the…

Is it okay to turn off an O2 sensor? Disabling the oxygen sensors can have a number of negative effects on the performance and emissions of your vehicle. Oxygen sensors, also known as O2 sensors, are in charge of measuring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system and transmitting that data to the engine…

The temperature of the coolant in an internal combustion engine is measured by a coolant temperature sensor (CTS). The sensor typically sits inside the engine block or cylinder head, and it communicates the coolant temperature to the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) via a signal. The ECM or PCM uses this…

An internal combustion engine’s crankshaft position or rotational speed can be tracked using a crank position sensor. It is used to check the engine’s ignition timing and to modify it as necessary.  The crank position sensor keeps track of the crankshaft’s location and is typically mounted on the engine block or cylinder head. The engine’s…

The Flammable Vapor Sensor is a device designed to detect the presence of flammable gases and vapors in the air. It is an important safety device which can alert people to the presence of potentially dangerous gases, such as propane, methane, and butane.  The sensor works by detecting the concentration of hydrocarbons in the air,…
