Denso-Common Rail System – APP sensor

For safety reasons, the APP sensor is designed as a breakerless double sensor. 1 PCM 2 Gateway (GEM) 3 APP sensor In this system, the signal from APP sensor 1 is transmitted directly as a Pulse Width Modulation signal to the PCM. The APP sensor 2 signal is transmitted as an analog signal to the… Read More »

Denso-Common Rail System – MAF sensor

The MAF sensor works according to the hot film principle. The sensor’s output signal is a digital square-wave signal with a variable frequency. The following generally applies: the frequency drops with increasing engine speed. The MAF sensor is used to control the exhaust gas recirculation (closed-loop control). Effects of faults In the event of a… Read More »
