Engine speed, position and pressure sensors make an important contribution to modern engine management. The position and speed of the crank and camshaft are important for precise engine management, providing the best power and low-emission performance.
Furthermore, these sensors help to control start-stop functionality. Speed sensors are used in diesel and petrol engines. Bosch’s extension of 36 part numbers covers approximately 6.2 million vehicles in the UK across a diverse range of manufacturers including, Ford, PSA, Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, Volkswagen and more.
This extension includes 11 camshafts, 23 crankshafts and 2 MAP sensors.
Camshaft sensor
Camshaft sensors precisely detect the position of the camshaft. High precision sensing enables exact injection/ignition timing and precise variable camshaft phasing.
Crankshaft sensor
Crankshaft sensors measure the speed and position of the crankshaft. This data is used by the engine management system for controlling injection/ignition timing.
Intake pressure sensor
The air intake pressure sensor provides the engine control unit with precise pressure information so it can calculate the exact pressure and temperature of the intake air. The sensor helps control the fuel quantity while simultaneously reducing emissions.
