Sensor issues and iStat Menus

[G.Beard]

Got a MacBook Air 2015 with fast fan spin. I installed iStat, never used it before. If are sensors listed but only showing a hyphen, are they fucked sensors?

Yep. First thing I tried was trackpad.
Diagnostic says SMC..... I'll sort the issue but my question is really about iStat. I was kind of just wondering how iStat menus works as I have seen people on the forum mention using it to find sensor issues.

No idea, which sensors are affected?

AirFlow Sensor
CPU, Platfor Controller Hub, S2 Cam proximity sensors.

And charger but I guess that could be because no charger is plugged.

SMBUS_SMC_1_S0_SDA bus problem. Unplug camera first.

Diode mode the 2 data lines and inspect for corrosion everywhere where these data lines go.
