3. Position Sensorn (see Fig. 16)
The position sensor is an electrometer or variable resistance. It is used for the
computer monitoring of the position and direction of a mechanical device. The
typical position sensors include throttle, exhaust recirculating EGR, blade air flow
and other sensors.
Testing Procedure:
a. The same as in the resistance testing method.
b. Connect the red and black test lead probes respectively to the signal test
terminal and ground terminal. Refer to various kinds of automotive servicing
manuals for its position and the resistance to be tested..
4. Absolute Pressure (MAP) and Baro Sensor (see Fig. 17)
The MAP sensor is used to change a pressure signal into a DC voltage or frequency
one. All GM, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota use DC voltage type MAP sensors, while
