Manifold Differential Pressure Sensors

The manifold differential pressure sensor is a component that calculates the pressure drop between two points in the flow pattern and the exhaust manifold.

Manifold differential pressure sensor function

The differential pressure sensor has many uses but you can also use it for exhaust-gas treatment and recirculation of low-pressure gas. The differential and piezoresistive sensors communicate the charge status of the particle filter and keep track of its function. It is attached to the engine control unit with a connector and is usually installed into the engine compartment to shield it from extreme heat temperatures. The differential pressure sensor is a crucial component and must be kept in good condition to prevent any kind of negative impact on the engine.

Common issues with a faulty manifold differential pressure sensor

A defective manifold differential pressure sensor can lead to poor fuel economy, overheating, or a decline in engine performance.
