DTC 31 Mass Air Flow Meter Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter is an air flow meter which uses a platinum hot wire. The hot wire air flow meter
works on the principle that when the electrically heated platinum hot wire is positioned inside the intake
air bypass, the intake air volume can be calculated according to the change in the hot wire temperature.
This change in temperature is measured by the thermistor at the rear of the hot wire. And feedback from
the circuit maintains the hot wire at a set temperature by controlling the current flowing through the hot
wire. This current flow is then measured as the output voltage of the air flow meter. The circuit is
constructed so that the platinum hot wire and the thermistor provide a bridge circuit, with the power transis-
tor controlled so that the potential of (A) or (B) remains equal to maintain the set temperature.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To control maximum turbocharging pressure the turbocharger system includes a waste gate valve con-
trolled by an actuator. The actuator is controlled by the manifold pressure which is duty controlled by the
VSV based on signals from the ECM.
If the ECM detects the below diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the ECM
stops fuel injection.

DTC 35 Turbo Pressure Sensor Circuit Barometric Pressure (BARO)
Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
HINT DTC 35 is used to indicate malfunctions in the turbo pressure sensor circuit or BARO sensor circuit.
1. TURBO PRESSURE SENSOR
This sensor detects the air intake chamber pressure and converts the pressure reading into a voltage which
is used to control the turbo pressure by the ECM.
If the ECM detects the below diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which the ECM stops
fuel injection at engine speed 2,400 rpm or more and throttle opening angle 20° or more.
DTC No.

2. BARO SENSOR
This sensor is built into the ECM. It is used to detect the atmospheric (absolute) pressure and outputs corre-
sponding electrical signals. Fluctuations in the air pressure cause changes in the intake air density which
can cause deviations in the air±fuel ratio. The signals from BARO sensor are used to make corrections for
the fluctuations. If the ECM detects the below diagnosis conditions, it operates the fail safe function in which
the atmospheric pressure is assumed to be 101.3 kPa (1.03 kgf/cm
2, 14.7 psi).
