Acceleration sensor
System:
Motronic
Purpose:
Compliance with OBDII requirements (engine management on-board diagnostics) demands 
the detection of misfiring at individual cylinders as well as misfiring distributed randomly over 
all the cylinders. This is achieved by recording the fluctuations in crankshaft speed. Speed 
 fluctuations also occur as a result of driving on particularly rough roads and frequent road 
surface irregularities. Such road surface irregularities additionally give rise to extreme body 
 acceleration, which is measured by way of an acceleration sensor. This signal is used to block 
the misfiring detection function.
Part number:
0 273 101 02.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Air-flow sensor
Systems:
L-Jetronic, Motronic
Purpose:
The air flowing into the engine deflects a sensor plate in opposition to the restoring force of 
a spring. A potentiometer converts the deflection of the sensor plate into a voltage. 
The electronic control unit uses this signal to calculate the quantity of fuel required.
Part number:
0 280 200 ..., 0 280 201 ..., 0 280 202 ..., 0 280 203 ...,

Air-flow sensor (mechanical)
Systems:
K, KE-Jetronic, KE-Motronic
Purpose:
The air-flow sensor and the fuel distributor together form the mixture-control unit. The two 
components are available separately and must be replaced separately. The air flowing through 
the air funnel deflects the sensor plate by a certain distance. The sensor-plate deflection is 
transmitted to the fuel distributor by way of a lever system.
Part number:
