WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel pressure sensor delivers a voltage signal to the DDE. A diaphragm in the fuel pressure sensor channels the fuel pressure which is converted into a voltage signal by 4 pressure-sensitive resistors.

The fuel pressure and temperature sensor contains a temperature-dependent resistor that protrudes into the fuel and reaches its temperature. The resistor has a negative temperature coefficient (NTC). The resistance is less as the temperature increases. The resistance changes from 75.5 kΩ to 87.6 Ω temperature-dependent, which corresponds to a temperature of -40 °C to 120 ° C.
