Sensors
- Brake Pressure Sensors: Generally use piezoelectric or strain gauge sensors to detect hydraulic pressure changes. They are integral to safety systems like ABS and EBD.
- Throttle Position Sensors: Typically employ potentiometric, Hall effect, or inductive sensors to measure throttle valve position, crucial for engine management and performance control.
- Accelerator Pedal Position Sensors: Use similar technologies to throttle sensors, often in modern drive-by-wire systems.
