    Default Engine Sensors - how they work

    Found these 2 beaut sites which explain how and why sensors work and what happens when they fail....in plain English.

    Making Sense of Engine Sensors

    This second site give OBD2 codes for GM vehicles which are not exactly applicable but are handy for fault finding.

    I found the Autotap explanations to be a bit basic - the explanations at Making Sense of Engine Sensors when you click on the highlighted links were much more comprehensive and explained how the sensors worked and how to test them. It all helps and as always, it's horses for courses!

    I found the same. Really they are just trying to sell you their product.
