For example, a âPC Expansion Cardâ maybe the jargon used to refer to any and all expansion cards (e.g., graphic, video, sound, etc.) for your âpersonal computer.â One may also come across references to âPCI.â The latter is not a card; it is one type of expansion slot into which the expansion card maybe installed in some computers.
Anyway, the best definition of what a Yaw rate sensor can be found here.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_rate_sensor\. In layman's terms it is a sensor that is located near the middle of the vehicle, under the center arm rest console, that detects if the car is moving or sliding sideways. Like going around a corner.
What is a camshaft position sensor and where is it located? Your vehicleâs camshaft position sensorâalso known as a cam sensor, cam angle sensor (CAS), and sometimes even CMP sensorâis a key component to your engine's ignition timing system. It is typically used on vehicles equipped with direct ignition (distributorless). The camshaft position sensor is connected to the camshaft. As the camshaft rotates, the magnetic element inside of it rotates and creates a series of electrical pulses. The camshaft sensor detects these and gives a signal to the vehicleâs Electronic Control Module (ECM) or computer to let it know the position of the engineâs camshaft.
