Intake air temperature - intake pipe pressure sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The intake air temperature and intake-manifold pressure sensor is bolted onto the intake plenum.
This combined sensor delivers the following information to the engine control system:
- Temperature after the throttle valve
- Intake pipe vacuum after the throttle valve
The intake-air temperature/intake-manifold pressure sensor is used to calculate the intake air flow rate. The pressure also serves as a substitute value for the load signal.
