Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor & Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The MAF sensor is part of the intake air system.
It is fitted between the air cleaner & throttle body and
measure the mass air flowing into the engine.
The MAF sensor uses a hot wire element to determine
the amount of air flowing into the engine. (The wire
temperature reaches to 170 - 300C)
The MAF sensor assembly consist of a MAF senso
r
element and an intake air temperature sensor that are
both exposed to the air flow to be measured.
The MAF sensor element measures the partial air mass
through a measurement duct on the sensor housing.
Using calibration, there is an extrapolation to the entire
mass air flow to the engine.
The IAT sensor is a thermistor. A temperature changes
the resistance value. And it changes voltage. In othe
r
words it measures a temperature value. Low air
temperature produces a high resistance.
The ECM supplies 5 volts signal to the IAT senso
r
through resisters in the ECM and measures the voltage.
The signal voltage will be high when the air temperature
is cold, and it will be low when the air temperature is
hot. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

(1) Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
(2) Idle Air Control Valve (IACValve)
The TPS is a potentiometer connected to throttle shaf
t
on the throttle body.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the voltage
on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed when accelerator pedal
moved. The TPS signal also changed at a moved
throttle valve.
As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that the output voltage should be high.
The throttle body has a throttle plate to control the
amount of air delivered to the engine. Engine coolant is
directed through a coolant cavity in the throttle body to
warm the throttle valve and to prevent icing.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR FUEL
METERING
The fuel metering system starts with the fuel in the fuel
tank. An electric fuel pump, located in the fuel tank,
pumps fuel to the fuel rail through an in-line fuel filter.
The pump is designed to provide fuel at a pressure
above the pressure needed by the injectors.
A fuel pressure regulator in the fuel rail keeps fuel
available to the fuel injectors at a constant pressure.
A return line delivers unused fuel back to the fuel tank.
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to
control the air/fuel delivery to the engine. Fuel is
delivered to the engine by individual fuel injectors
mounted in the intake manifold.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen senso
r
located in the exhaust system. The heated oxygen
sensor reports to the ECM how much oxygen is in the
exhaust gas. The ECM changes the air/fuel ratio to the
engine by controlling the amount of time that fuel
injector is "On".
The best mixture to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7
parts of air to 1 part of gasoline by weight, which allows
the catalytic converter to operate most efficiently.
Because of the constant measuring and adjusting of the
air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system is called a "closed
loop" system.
The ECM monitors signals from several sensors in
order to determine the fuel needs of the engine. Fuel is
delivered under one of several conditions called
"mode". All modes are controlled by the ECM.
Acceleration Mode
The ECM provides extra fuel when it detects a rapid
increase in the throttle position and the air flow.
Battery Voltage Correction Mode
When battery voltage is low, the ECM will compensate
for the weak spark by increasing the following:
The amount of fuel delivered.
The idle RPM.
Ignition dwell time.
Clear Flood Mode
Clear a flooded engine by pushing the accelerator pedal
down all the way. The ECM then de-energizes the fuel
injectors. The ECM holds the fuel injectors de-
energized as long as the throttle remains above 80%
and the engine speed is below 800 RPM. If the throttle
position becomes less than 80%, the ECM again begins
to pulse the injectors "ON" and "OFF," allowing fuel into
the cylinders.
Deceleration Mode
The ECM reduces the amount of fuel injected when i
t
detects a decrease in the throttle position and the air
flow. When deceleration is very fast, the ECM may cu
t
off fuel completely for short periods.
Engine Speed/Vehicle Speed/Fuel Disable Mode
The ECM monitors engine speed. It turns off the fuel
injectors when the engine speed increase above 6400
RPM. The fuel injectors are turned back on when
engine speed decreases below 6150 RPM.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
No fuel is delivered by the fuel injectors when the
ignition is "OFF." This prevents engine run-on. In
addition, the ECM suspends fuel delivery if no reference
pulses are detected (engine not running) to preven
t
engine flooding.
Run Mode
The run mode has the following two conditions:
Open loop
Closed loop
When the engine is first started the system is in "open
loop" operation. In "open loop," the ECM ignores the
signal from the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). I
t
calculates the air/fuel ratio based on inputs from the TP,
ECT, and MAF sensors.
The system remains in "open loop" until the following
conditions are met:
The HO2S has a varying voltage output showing
that it is hot enough to operate properly (this
depends on temperature).
The ECT has reached a specified temperature.
A specific amount of time has elapsed since
starting the engine.
Engine speed has been greater than a specified
RPM since start-up.
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines and are stored in the programmable
read only memory (PROM). When these conditions are
met, the system enters "closed loop" operation. In
"closed loop," the ECM calculates the air/fuel ratio
(injector on-time) based on the signal from the HO2S.
This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The TPS circuit provides a voltage signal that changes
relative to throttle blade angle. The signal voltage will
vary from about 0.6 volts at closed throttle to about 4.5
volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
The TPS signal is one of the most important inputs
used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) for fuel
control and many of the ECM-controlled outputs. The
ECM monitors throttle position and compares actual
throttle position from the TPS to a predicted TPS value
calculated from engine speed. If the ECM detects an
out-of-range condition, DTC P0121 will set.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM – Inspect harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, imprope
r
mating, broken locks improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness –Inspect the wiring harness fo
r
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the ECT display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the
sensor. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If DTC P0121 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.
