The intake air temperature sensor is an element of the vehicle control system, the function of which is to control the temperature of the air intake into the power unit. Due to the information about the air density received from the sensor, the system balances the fuel-air mixture.

The temperature sensor of the air intake by the engine plays a key role in the operation of the car, since the control system analyzes the information received from the sensor for subsequent adjustment of the fuel and air mixture depending on the density of the air masses.

The functionality of the intake air temperature sensor

Any vehicle uses a certain list of different systems that monitor the operation of the engine. The same applies to the operating temperature of the motor and many of its other indicators.

One of the key systems is a special sensor that regulates the temperature of the intake air. Only one critically important parameter depends on the health of this element - engine performance. Indeed, in the event of its overheating, the subsequent operation of the vehicle will be impossible.

The MEYLE brand Sensor, intake air temperature is a special device, the purpose of which is to control the temperature of air masses entering the area where the engine is located.
