About BMW 1 SERIES Computers & Sensors Spare Parts

Your BMW 1 Series is an intelligent machine that runs with the help of numerous computers and sensors. In this network, sensors monitor everything from oxygen and air temperature levels to throttle positions, relaying the information to the computers. These computers, in turn, process the data and take action, controlling other car components to optimize your vehicle's performance. One of the most essential computers is the engine control module, or engine control unit. This computer ensures maximum engine performance by adjusting actuators in your 1 Series's internal combustion engine in response to the readings from sensors in the engine bay. If you have a malfunctioning computer, your 1 Series will likely run less than optimally.

When there is a lousy sensor, your 'check engine' light will often turn on. However, accurately determining if the trigger is an actual issue with the sensors requires further investigation. The following are just some of the many problems related to sensors. When oxygen sensors, which are used to ensure a proper fuel-air ratio, become faulty, the fuel mixture might run rich or lean, resulting in excessive fuel expenditure and exhaust emissions or a backfiring engine. Similarly, if a problem develops with the inlet air temperature sensor, the fuel-air ratio of the mixture can also be upset. Bring your 1 Series to a trusted mechanic for a diagnosis if it's displaying such problems. If a replacement sensor or computer is needed, you'll find it in excellent condition and at a great price here at BE FORWARD Auto Parts.
