Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAFS)
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The mass air ¯ow sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It
measures the intake air ¯ow rate by measuring a part of the entire
intake air ¯ow. It consists of a hot wire that is supplied with electric
current from the ECM. The temperature of the hot wire is controlled
by the ECM a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire
is reduced as the intake air ¯ows around it. The more air, the
greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the ECM must supply more electric current to the hot
wire as air ¯ow increases. This maintains the temperature of the hot
wire. The ECM detects the air ¯ow by means of this current change.

COMPONENT INSPECTION
Mass air ¯ow sensor
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Check voltage between ECM terminal
V35and ground under the
following condition.
Conditions Voltage V
Ignition switch ``ON'' (Engine stopped.) Less than 1.0
Idle (Engine is warmed-up sufficiently.) 1.0 - 1.7
2,500 rpm Approximately 2.1
Idle to about 4,000 rpm* 1.0 - 1.7 to Approx. 4.0
*: Check for linear voltage rise in response to increase to about 4,000 rpm in engine
speed.
3. If NG, remove mass air ¯ow sensor from air duct. Check hot
wire for damage and dust.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modi®es a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modi®ed signal returns to the ECM as the engine cool-
ant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sen-
sitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the
thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
