Oil Level Sensor

Oil is a must-have utility for your car to move perfectly. It helps in lubrication,
and you need to check its levels regularly. An ideal way to keep tabs on your
vehicle’s oil limit comes courtesy of the oil level sensor.

The sensor applies the properties of magnetism, where a magnetized sealant moves up
and down the tube of the oil chamber. A magnetic operation reed turns off a switch
when there is a change in oil levels. Consequently, the switch will complete a
circuit leading to notification of the fault on your dashboard.

22. Fuel Level Sensor

The fuel-level sensor plays a role in determining the amount of fuel in the tank at
any particular time. It provides a hint on fuel refills, drainage, and the
remaining volume.

The fuel level sensors have significant use in fleet management, where you can
connect them with a GPS. Here, you can keep tabs of fuel use, refuels and helps you
know if there is any fuel theft.

23. Airbag Sensors

Airbags are important car parts when it comes to upholding safety. During impact,
they deploy and cushion passengers, preventing injuries. The airbag sensor is a key
element in airbag technology and plays a role as accelerometers, where they detect
the car’s deceleration.

It collects this information and sends it to the airbag control unit, which will
activate the airbag in case of an impact.

24. Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor

The brake fluid pressure sensor is part of the automobile’s braking system and
helps detect the braking fluid’s pressure. The braking fluid operates ideally at
certain pressure levels, and a slight deviation may affect its performance.

A deviation in pressure indicates a problem in the system, such as poor quality

brake fluid or leakages. The sensor has a port that measures the pressure, and when
it drops, it sends the message as electric voltage to your dashboard.

25. ABS Sensors

The ABS sensor is also known as the wheel speed sensor, and it records the wheels’
speed and sends the info to the ECU. The wheels may vary in speed, and the sensor
takes note of any difference from the normal.

The sensor resembles a toothed ring with a coil-over, a magnet to capture and
transmit it to the engine control unit. The message sent to the control unit helps
prevent the brakes from locking on the wheels during motion.

26. Car Parking Sensor

Parking sensors help in parking by detecting obstacles and notifying the driver of
their presence. The sensors use either ultrasonic systems or electromagnetic
properties to alert you of obstacles, especially when reverse parking.

The sensor shoots out pulses, with a control system measuring their return
intensity to approximate the distance from the obstacles. If it is too proximal, a
sensor alarm goes off faster as a warning.

Electromagnetic car parking sensors rely on a motion where their alarm goes off
when approaching a barrier if you stop, the sounds reduces in intensity.
