Mass
air
flow
sensor
(hot

testing
and

When
the
engine
is
running,
a
current
is
used
to
heat
a
thin

wire
in
the
center
of
the
sensor
.
See
Fig
.
25
.
The
current
in
the

wire
is
regulated
to
maintain
a
temperature
of
100°C
more

than
the
air
passing
over
it
.
The
current
used
to
heat
the
wire

is
electronically
conneced
into
a
voltage
measurement
corre-

sponding
to
the
mass
of
intake
a¡
r
.

To
keep
the
wire
clean,
it
is
heated
to
a
temperature
of
about

1,000°C
(1,830°F)
for
one
second
.
This
"burn-off"
cycle
takes

place
automatically,
four
seconds
after
the
engine
is
tumed
off
.

lf
thehot
wire
breaks
or
if
there
is
no
output
from
the
air
flow

sensor,
the
ECM
automatically
switches
to
a
"limp-home"

mode
and
tucos
on
the
Check
Engine
light
.
The
engine
can

usually
be
started
and
driven
.
The
air
flow
sensor
has
no
inter-

nal
moving
parts
and
cannot
be
serviced
.
