Construction
Projecting into the MAF sensor body is the compact design
sensor assembly (1), which consists of:
• the sensor element (2),
• partial airflow measuring tube (3), and
• integrated evaluation electronics (4).
Figure 6C1-1 – 45
Operation
A diaphragm (1) on the sensor element (2) is heated by a
centrally mounted heater resistor (3), which is held at a
constant temperature. The temperature drops sharply each
side of the heating zone.
Temperature of the diaphragm is registered to the
evaluation electronics by two temperature-dependent
resistors located on the upstream (4) and downstream (5)
side of the resistor.
W ith no air flow through the air flow measuring tube and
over the sensor element, the temperature characteristic is
the same each side of the heating zone and the resistance
values are identical.
As air flows over the sensor element, the upstream resistor
value alters due to the cooling effect of the air flow. As the
air flows over the heating zone the air temperature is
increased.
Figure 6C1-1 – 46
The air then passes over the downstream resistor and alters the resistance value, but as the air temperature is higher,
the value is different to the upstream resistor. This change in temperature creates a temperature differential between the
two resistors.
It is this differential that is used to calculate the air mass flow, which is independent of absolute temperature. The
differential is also directional, which means the MAF not only measures the mass of the incoming air, but also its
direction.
As the evaluation electronics are measuring the resistance differential between the resistors, the air mass flow for the
entire amount of air passing through the MAF is calculated and sent to the ECM as an analogue signal of 0 – 5 V.
The ECM can also detect air flow that is inappropriate for a given operating condition based on the signal voltage, or a
signal that appears to be fixed based on the lack of normal signal fluctuations expected during engine operation.
Tech 2 can display the MAF value in grams per second (g/s). Values should change rather quickly on acceleration, but
should remain fairly stable at any given engine speed.

Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics Page 6C1-2–4

1 General Information
1.1 Diagnostic System Check
The engine management diagnostic procedure is organised in a logical structure that begins with the Diagnostic System
Check. The Diagnostic System Check directs the diagnostic procedure to the logical steps necessary to diagnose an
engine driveability fault condition.
1.2 Diagnostic Trouble Code Tables
The Diagnostic System Check directs the diagnostic procedure to the appropriate diagnostic trouble code (DTC) tables
if there is a DTC currently stored in the engine control module (ECM).
The diagnostic tables locate a faulty circuit or component through a logic based on the process of elimination. These
diagnostic tables are developed with the following assumptions:
• the vehicle functioned correctly at the time of assembly,
• there are no multiple faults, and
• the problem currently exists.
Understanding and the correct use of the diagnostic tables are essential to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent
misdiagnosis.
Multiple DTC Fault Conditions
Some fault conditions trigger multiple component DTCs even if the fault condition exists only on a single component. If
there are multiple DTCs stored in the ECM, the service technician must view and record all DTCs logged.
The relationship between the logged DTCs can then be analysed to determine the source of the fault condition. Always
begin the diagnostic process with the DTC table of the fault condition that may trigger other DTCs to set.
The following fault conditions may trigger multiple DTCs:
• a fault in the serial data communication circuit,
• a system voltage that is too low may cause incorrect engine management system operation or engine
management component malfunction,
• a system voltage that is too high may damage the ECM and/or other engine management components,
• fault condition in the ECM read only memory (ROM) or random access memory (RAM),
• fault condition in the ECM internal circuitry or programming,
• improperly connected sensor or component wiring connector, or
• an electrical fault condition in the following shared ECM electrical circuits trigger DTCs on components or sensors
that share in the faulty shared circuit. Test the electrical circuit of the appropriate sensors or components to isolate
the fault condition. Refer to 3 W iring Diagrams and Connector Charts in this Section.
• 5 V Reference Circuit,
• Low Reference Circuit, or
• Ignition Control Voltage Circuit.
If there are no obvious faults to begin a multiple DTC fault condition diagnostic procedure, diagnose the DTCs in the
following order unless directed otherwise:
1 Always start with the lowest numbered component level DTCs such as:
• sensor DTCs,
• solenoid DTCs, or
• relay DTCs.
2 Then follow with system level DTCs such as:
• misfire DTCs,

ISUZU KB P190 2007

Engine Management – V6 – Diagnostics Page 6C1-2–5

• fuel trim DTCs, or
• catalyst DTCs.
1.3 Symptoms Diagnostics
The Diagnostic System Check directs the service technician to the symptoms diagnostics if the following conditions
exist:
• a vehicle driveability fault condition exists,
• there is no current diagnostic trouble code presently stored in the ECM, and
• all Tech 2 engine data parameters are within normal operating range.
1.4 Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The ECM constantly performs self-diagnostic tests on the engine management system. W hen the ECM detects a fault
condition in the engine operating parameters, the ECM sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to represent that fault
condition. The following are the types of DTCs programmed in the ECM. In addition, DTCs are classified as either a
current or history DTC.
• Type A – emission related DTCs,
• Type B – emission related DTCs, and
• Type C – non-emission related DTCs.
NOTE
Depending on the type of DTC set, the ECM may
command the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
illuminate and warn the driver there is a fault in
the engine management system.
Type A – Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type A DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type A DTC that represents the fault condition,
• illuminates the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the freeze frame
failure record.
Type B – Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type B DTC runs and fails:
• On the first time a Type B DTC fails, the ECM takes the following actions:
− sets a current Type B DTC that represents the fault condition, and
− records the operating conditions at the time the fault sets and stores this information in the failure records.
• On the second consecutive ignition cycle that a Type B DTC fails, the ECM takes the following actions:
− activates the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and
− records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the freeze frame
failure record.
Conditions for Clearing Type A or Type B DTCs
• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current ECM self-diagnostics.
• If there are no DTCs logged after three or four consecutive ignition cycles, the ECM deactivates the instrument
cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
• Type A or Type B History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
