Intake Manifold Sensor - GX9-, Checking: General Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The air mass and charge pressure are two factors used for engine load management. For this purpose, there are several sensors with absolutely identical functions. They measure the intake air temperature and the intake manifold pressure. The first sender unit is located upstream of the Throttle Valve Control Module -J338/GX3- in the Intake Manifold Sensor -GX9-. They measure the pressure and temperature of the air in each individual cylinder bank. The values measured here correspond to the actual air mass in the cylinder bank(s).
The Intake Manifold Sensor -GX9- contains the following components:
- Intake Air Temperature Sensor -G42-.
- Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor -G71- / or Charge Air Pressure Sensor -G31-.
The Intake Manifold Sensor -GX9- components cannot be serviced separately, and they must be serviced as a unit.
