Oil or fuel pressure sensor: name not enough

Useful to know

The Bosch medium pressure sensor has applications in fuel and oil in engines and transmissions. Measurement assists in the management of the quantity supplied. A silicon sensitive element is described, and temperature measurement can be added as an option. [1]

Therefore, the common name "pressure sensor" does not define the spare part well enough. The working environment, range, hydraulic connection and electrical connection must correspond to the specific application.

Distinguish a continuously measured value from a simple pass threshold signal when reading a chart or catalog. Do not assume that each warning lamp uses this particular type of sensor. When searching for a part, start from the car and the exact system; a similar jack or thread does not prove compatibility. The technical description explains the family's capabilities, not its presence in any model.
