  • Electronic ignition
  • Electronic spark plug control units

Sensors:

  • Temperature sensor (NTC)
  • Knock sensor (piezoelectric)
  • Engine revolution sensor for the ABS system
  • Wheel ABS revolution sensor
  • TDC sensor (inductive)
  • Air pressure sensor (inductive)
  • Hydraulic brake system pressure sensor (piezoresistive)
  • Exhaust gas pressure sensor
  • Wheel speed sensor
  • Oxygen sensor (lambda probe)
