They are used to measure the air pressure, the temperature, the speed, the liquid level, the characteristics of the exhaust smoke, etc. They are connected to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and they provide the information needed to improve the engine's performance.
Abs light came and and we hooked it to computer and it stated right wheel sensor needed replaced. Car will not go over 5mph but will go in reverse fine. Any ideas? Computer has been reset.
Every morning I start the engine of my car and the air conditioning works properly. But as I drive to my workplace it stops cooling. I've serviced it but have been told that the real cause is that the signal does not reach the valv, which is not an air conditioning issue but an engine failure, which would be a worse and more expensive problem to solve, because catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, spark plugs and coils would need to be replaced. What is your opinion?
I've been working in mechanics for 25 years and it is the first time that I hear that in order to solve an air conditioning problem you need to replace all that stuff. It has nothing to do with it.
Hey, your problem is the fan clutch, which has got an electronic sensor and it must not be working. Once this happens, the car's fan does not start and a signal is sent to the Engine Control Unit to protect the vehicle from an engine overheat.

Hey my girlfriend has this 2001 Ford explorer well she is second owner she tucked so wire's that was hanging under the dash well the wires got cought in driveshaft. Put wires back with connectors and now have tried everything to get it started any good suggestions
I was driving slowly in a parking lot and it died and would not start back. The check engine light is on but no codes are read on the computer. The security light is flashing. We have replaced the crank sensor and the cam sensor
3 different times in last 52 days car just died at stop light and would not start. Went into park and couldn't be pushed to side of road. Only 20,000 miles, still under warranty and dealer can not diagnose or fix problem despite it being there for 4 weeks this last time. Ford Corporate no help, no loaner, no rental. Have read numerous comments on Facebook Ford advertisement that many people are having exact same issue.
After driving my vehicle for about 40 minutes, the engine stalls out on me. Sometimes it crank back up when when it does it the engine shakes badly and stalls out again. After that or during the times it won't start back up I'd have to wait a few hours to a few days before the vehicle is able to start again. This is a repeating cycle. I have changed the fuel pump, filter , and the crankshaft sensor. The problem was not resolved. An one has any ideas?
It's seems to not shift all the way to top gear. Also, after a night of sitting in cold weather. Doesn't kick into gear right away. Takes a few seconds then it gets going. Both reverse an drive it does this. But when the engine is warmed up it drives perfect. But after a few miles of driving the check transmission light comes on and if I don't stop the transmission overheating light comes on. Also the low oil temperature light comes on. All fluids are good. Had mechanics change oil an tran fluid and everything is as it should be. It is a rebuild transmission. What kind of problems am I looking at. What could it be. Solenoid , computer modulator, or a faulty sensor. Hoping it's something I don't have to pay to much to fix. Desperate for any tips before I take it in. Thanks
