The engine in your modern Dodge Challenger is governed by the central processing unit or CPU. This computer relies on updated readings from the various sensors in the vehicle. If the computer detects a fault, it will turn on the check engine light (CEL) or malfunction indicator light (MIL) in the instrument console. At the first sign of a check engine light, the first thing to do is NOT to panic! In most cases, the vehicle can still be driven despite the fault/faults in the system. Here are the list of engine sensors in your Dodge Challenger along with a few tidbits of information. Any or all of these sensors can trigger the check engine light in your Dodge Challenger.

Your Challenger's engine sensors and valves are certainly not the most exciting aspect of the muscle car, but they're critical to proper engine operation and horsepower. Your oxygen sensor, for example, regulates your air to fuel ratio and the coolant temperature sensor affects fueling and spark. Keep your engine sensors up to speed and you won't find your Challenger robbed of power.
