Öljynpaineanturi
öljynpaineanturi, also known as an oil pressure sensor, is a crucial component in an internal combustion engine's lubrication system. Its primary function is to monitor the engine's oil pressure and transmit this information to the engine control unit (ECU) or a dedicated oil pressure warning light on the dashboard. This sensor is vital for engine health and longevity.
The sensor typically operates by converting the hydraulic pressure of the engine oil into an electrical signal.
When the engine is running, the oil pump circulates oil throughout the engine to lubricate moving parts
The information from the oil pressure sensor is used by the ECU for diagnostic purposes and can
