I need a link to a glossary of acronyms. I'm having a hard time following some of these posts. I know the old acronyms such as EGR, PCV but when I see IAC, ECT then IGL(I get Lost)

 

iac- idle air control- makes you engine idle

 

IAC = idle air controler
ECT = engine coolant temp
MAF = Mass air flow
TPS = Throttle position sensor
IAT = intake air temp
CHT = cylinder head temp
DPFE=differential pressure feedback exhaust sensor
CKP = crankshaft position sensor
CMP = Camshaft position sensor
HEC = Hybrid electronic cluster (Instrument cluster)
GEM = Generic electronic module
PCM = powertrain control module
DSM = Driver's seat module
DDM = Driver's door module
EATC=Electronic automatic temperature control
REM = Rear electronics module
FEM = Front electronic module
ATS = Ambient temp sensor
CJB = Central junction box (the one inside)
BJB = Battery junction box (under the hood)
Any others that I missed?????
