Sensor ya barometriki hudumu kwa muda gani?

Sensor ya barometriki (pia inaitwa sensor ya shinikizo la barometriki, au BAP) ni mojawapo ya idadi ya sensorer kwenye magari ambayo yana injini zinazodhibitiwa na kompyuta. Inachofanya ni kupima shinikizo la angahewa, hasa kwa njia sawa na kipimo cha hali ya hewa. Kisha hutuma maelezo kwenye kompyuta ya gari lako ili iweze kutoa mchanganyiko unaofaa wa hewa/mafuta kwenye injini.

Ingawa huwezi kuona au kugusa hewa, ina wingi. Hewa ina uzito mkubwa zaidi kwenye usawa wa bahari, na kadiri unavyopanda juu, ndivyo hewa inavyozidi kuwa na uzito. Maana yake, kwa kifupi, ni kwamba gari linaloendeshwa katika usawa wa bahari litahitaji mchanganyiko tofauti wa mafuta/hewa kuliko ile inayoendeshwa milimani. Kihisi chako cha BAP kila wakati hufanya kazi ili kulijulisha gari lako umbali uliopo juu ya usawa wa bahari, ili kompyuta iweze kuhakikisha kuwa mchanganyiko wa hewa/mafuta ni sahihi.

The BAP is not a part that is replaced on a routine schedule – its life isn’t calculated in terms of miles, or years. It is not a part that fails frequently, but like all electronic components in your vehicle, it can be vulnerable to corrosion as well as wear and tear. Signs that your barometric sensor is failing, or has failed, include:
