SEF987W
Component DescriptionNJEC0642The mass air flow sensor (MAFS) is placed in the stream of intake
air. It measures the intake air flow rate by measuring a part of the
entire intake air flow. It consists of a hot film that is supplied with
electric current from the ECM. The temperature of the hot film is
controlled by the ECM a certain amount. The heat generated by the
hot film is reduced as the intake air flows around it. The more air,
the greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the ECM must supply more electric current to maintain
the temperature of the hot film as air flow increases. The ECM
detects the air flow by means of this current change.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor

NJEC0643Specification data are reference values.
MONITOR ITEM CONDITION SPECIFICATION
MAS AIR/FL SEEngine: After warming up
Air conditioner switch: “OFF”
Shift lever: Neutral position
No-loadIdle 1.5 - 2.0V
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNJEC0644Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM’s transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

DescriptionNJEC0686The crankshaft position sensor (TDC) monitors engine speed by
means of signals from the sensing plate (with three protrusions)
installed to the crankshaft pulley. The datum signal output is
detected at ATDC 10° and sent to the ECM. The sensor signal is
used for fuel injection control and fuel injection timing control.

indication.Almost the same speed as the
tachometer indication.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNJEC0688Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
Pulse signal is measured by CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM’s transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
