Question:

What does the Front MEMS Sensor Error mean?

Answer:

The Front MEMS Sensor Error occurs when there is an abnormal output from the sensor, either above 4.5V or below 0.5V, lasting for 5 seconds or longer. This error is indicated by the Error Codes 8E1 or 8C1.

Terms:

Front MEMS Sensor - A device that detects changes in front vehicle conditions and sends signals to the car's computer system.

Abnormal Output - A reading from the sensor that falls outside of its expected range.

Voltage (V) - The electrical force driving current through a circuit; in this case, it represents the strength of the signal from the sensor.

Error Code 8E1 - Indicates an abnormal high output from the Front MEMS Sensor.

Error Code 8C1 - Indicates an abnormal low output from the Front MEMS Sensor.

Car's Computer System - Also known as the Engine Control Unit (ECU), it processes the data received from various sensors and controls different aspects of the vehicle's operation.
