Sensor failures in the Honda City can be attributed to several factors. Dust and debris are common culprits, particularly in environments where the vehicle frequently encounters dirt roads o r excessive dust. This can clog o r damage sensors, particularly those exposed to the environment, such as the mass airflow MAF sensor o r parking sensors. Moisture is another contributing factor, especially during the monsoon season o r in areas with high humidity. Water ingress into sensors can lead to corrosion o r short circuits, especially in sensors like the ABS, oxygen O2, and throttle position sensors. Electrical issues like poor wiring, corrosion, o r a weak electrical connection can also lead to intermittent sensor malfunctions. Additionally, software glitches o r calibration issues in modern vehicles sensor systems can sometimes cause incorrect readings o r false warnings. Preventive maintenance, such as regular cleaning and protecting sensors from extreme conditions, can help minimize these failures.
