Hi readers! I hope you are doing well and learning new things daily. Today, we have a detailed overview of the MAP(Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor, its working principle, types, structure, and features. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is a crucial element in a vehicle's engine to control pressure. The MAP sensor measures the pressure inside the intake manifold and transmits this data to the ECU so that fuel injection, ignition timing, and air-fuel mixture can be optimized. The MAP sensor is used to ensure engine efficiency, performance, and fuel economy.
The MAP sensor functions by the transformation of manifold pressure variations into an electrical signal, which is then interpreted by the ECU to calculate engine load. It is complemented by other sensors, including the M ...
