a device that measures something,
it implies that the information is sent someplace.
(perhaps the computer that runs your car)
yes
No worries. The important thing here is that this module is simply reading a voltage from the sensor with reference to the ground of that sensor. This means that this module is always going to be a sinking device, and will be always be sinking small amounts of current from that sensor. This means, that your sensor is going to be powered externally and we will simply be reading the output voltage from it. Here is a link to a knowledgebase article about sinking and sourcing current. I hope this helps to clarify.
today the general rule of thumb is that if the pressure sensor has a millivolt (e.g. 30mV or 100mV) or non-amplified output it is a pressure transducer. If the pressure sensor has a voltage (e.g. 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or 1-5Vdc) output it is an amplified voltage output pressure transducer. If a pressure sensor has a current loop output (e.g. 2 wire 4-20mA or 3 wire 0/4-20mA) it is a pressure transmitter. Simply we can tell as Transducer: Any physical Quantity is converted into Electrical Signal. Transmitter: to make the amplified RF electrical signal to radiation with help of Electric and maganetic signal.
It is an input device.
A device which operates(or function) only in one direction is called unidirectional (or unipolar) device
No. A plug is an electrical connection device. A sensor is a measurement device.
If you mean sensor, a sensor is a device that changes based on some phenomenon and this change is used to measure the change in the phenomenon.For example, assume a device produces a voltage and the amount of that voltage depends on the temperature of the device. It can be used as a sensor for temperature. Assume you put the device in water and another device measures the voltage produced by the sensor. Based on the voltage of the sensor it can display the temperature of the water. So, in this example, the sensor senses the temperature of the water.

A sensor is a device which responds to a certain cindition or state and responds to it, however the output signal of the sensor is quite low and sometimes unmeasureable. A smart sensor is a device which senses and also processes the low level signal i.e. amplifies it to a measurable form.

The knock sensor is a passive device that has no effect on engine idle.
An electronic device that senses light.

iat sensor? Please describe this device, never heard of iat sensor. Post again
Is the device you are calling the manuall shift lever sensor really a neutral safety switch? It is a device to help prevent the vehicle from being startted in a drive gear.
