The more modern the vehicle, the more advanced its operating systems will be. Your car has multiple sensors throughout its assembly. They are connected to the computer and there to let you know if there are potential problems with certain vehicle components. Sensors can sometimes fail and produce faulty warnings. In most cases, however, they do exactly what they are supposed to do in order to help keep your vehicle running its best and to keep you safe while on the road.

The list below will highlight some of the most common automotive sensors that you need to know about.
