NGK/NTK Announces Release of Technical Sensor Line

NTK, an NGK Spark Plugs brand, has expanded its product family with the release of over 6500 SKUs in more than 80 product types. The NTK brand now includes a full line of technical sensors complete with the same original equipment (OE) standards and testing as NTK’s oxygen sensors. With a premium line designed to cover more than 95% of vehicles on the road, here's a glimpse into the new NGK products that could be available for your vehicle:

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensors - Measure movement of the gas pedal to determine requested engine/vehicle speed.

Air Charge Temperature Sensors - Allow the ECU to make continuous adjustments to the engines air/fuel mixture for maximum fuel efficiency.

Ambient Air Temperature Sensors - Measure outside air temperature and is used by the heating and cooling control system, along with other vehicle cabin sensors, to control temperature and blower speed.

Automatic Headlight Sensors - Monitor the ambient light level to turn on the headlights when there is a certain level of darkness.

Battery Temperature Sensors - Measure the temperature of the battery and adjusts voltage to help ensure full battery charge depending on the ambient temperature of your battery.

Brake Pedal Position Sensors - Monitor the movement or position of the brake pedal to control anti-lock brake operation, brake lights, and turn off cruise control if applied.

Engine Camshaft/Crankshaft Position Sensors - Report the precise location of the camshaft/crankshaft to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to determine engine mechanical operation.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensors - Measure the temperature of the coolant.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Pressure Sensors - Measure and compare the ambient air pressure to the positive pressure that should be in a functioning EGR system, verifying proper EGR valve operation.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensors - Report the ambient pressure in the fuel tank and evaporative emission system so that the PCM may detect evaporative system leaks.

Ignition Knock Sensors - Monitor vibrations caused by engine knock or detonation.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP) - Provide manifold pressure information to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to determine the air mass flow rate and required fuel for optimum combustion and ignition timing.

Parking Aid Sensors - Ultrasonic sensors monitor the area around the vehicle to detect obstacles and aid drivers in avoiding collisions.

Suspension Ride Height Sensors - Measure the distance between the road and vehicle to properly maintain the vehicle's height.

Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) - Report the angle of the throttle plate to the PCM for optimal engine operation under all engine load conditions.

Water In Fuel Sensors - Report to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) when water has been detected in the fuel system.

Wheel Speed Sensors - Monitor rotational speed for anti-lock brake function, stability control and traction control.
