On
cars
with

M3

.1
a
hot
film
mass
air
flow
sensor
is
used
.
When
the
engine
is
running,
a
current
is
used
lo
heat
a
thinfilm
in
the
center
of
the
sensor
.
This
current
is
electroni-
cally
converted
into
a
voltage
measurement
corresponding
to
the
mass
of
intake
air
.

If
thehot
film
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

light
.
The
engine
can
usually
be
started
and
driven
.
The
air
flow
sensor
has
no
inter-
nal
moving

and
cannot
be

WARNING
-

"
The
fuel
system
is
designed
to
retain
pressure
even
when
the
ignition
isoff
.
When
working
with
the
fuel
system,
loosen
the
fuel
lines
slowly
toal-
low
residual
fuel
pressure
to
dissipate
gradually
.
Avoid
spraying
fuel
.

"
Before
beginning
any
work
on
the
fuel
system,
place
a
tire
extinguisher
in
the
vicinity
of
the
work
area
.

"
Fuel
is
highly
flammable
.
When
working
around
fuel,
do
not
disconnect
any
wires
that
could
cause
electrical
sparks
.
Do
not
smoke
