A knock sensor is a device used in internal combustion engines to detect and prevent engine knock, which can cause damage to the engine if left uncontrolled. Knock, also known as detonation, is an abnormal combustion process that occurs when the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously and uncontrollably, producing a knocking or pinging sound. The knock sensor is typically located on the engine block or cylinder head and is connected to the engine control unit (ECU). The sensor works by detecting the high-frequency vibrations produced by the knock and sending a signal to the ECU. The ECU...

PID stands for Proportional-Integral-Derivative, which refers to a type of control algorithm used in various applications, including industrial automation, robotics, and engineering systems. The PID controller uses feedback from a process or system and calculates the appropriate output based on three parameters - proportional, integral, and derivative. The proportional parameter controls the magnitude of the output in proportion to the error between the process value and the desired setpoint. The integral parameter calculates the accumulated error over time and adds a corrective output to reduce the steady-state error. The derivative parameter measures the rate of change of the error and...

A Power Distribution Module: The Backbone of a Vehicle's Electrical System A Power Distribution Module (PDM) is a critical component of a modern vehicle's electrical system. Acting as a centralized distribution point for electrical power, it simplifies the wiring and connections required for various electrical systems in the vehicle. This results in reduced complexity, enhanced control, and monitoring capabilities, and increased reliability and safety. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of PDMs, the components and types of PDMs, and their installation and maintenance.

A CAN LAMBDA sensor, often referred to as an oxygen sensor, measures the level of oxygen in exhaust gases. This level is critical in obtaining the optimal air fuel mixture when tuning an engine. CAN refers to the Controller Area Network which acts as the ‘nervous system’ of a vehicle, enabling communication from one part to another. The lambda calculation determines the ratio between the amount of oxygen actually present in the exhaust compared to the amount that should have been present to obtain perfect combustion.  This air fuel ratio information which the CAN Lambda provides is essential for a tuner. The fuel input, power output and air fuel ratio...
