Where is the sensor on a Corvette?

Corvettes, like most modern cars, have numerous sensors located throughout the vehicle. There's no single "sensor" location. They're distributed to monitor various systems. Here are some examples and their general locations:

* Engine Compartment: This area is densely packed with sensors including those for the engine's temperature, air intake, throttle position, crankshaft position, camshaft position, oxygen levels (O2 sensors), mass airflow, and more.

* Transmission: Sensors monitor transmission fluid temperature and pressure.

* Wheels/Brakes: Wheel speed sensors are located near each wheel, often within the wheel hub or brake assembly. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensors are also found in this area.

* Steering: Some models may have sensors related to power steering and electronic stability control.

* Interior: Sensors monitor things like cabin temperature, seat occupancy (for airbags), and potentially rain on the windshield.

* Exhaust System: Oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust system to monitor emissions.

* Body: Depending on the model year and features, there may be sensors related to parking assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and other driver-assistance technologies.

To find a specific sensor, you'll need to consult a repair manual or wiring diagram for your particular Corvette year and model. The location can vary even within the same model year due to design changes or options.
