The knock sensor is tuned to detect the frequency of the
vibration created by combustion knock. The vibration is
transferred to the knock sensor through the cylinder
block (1).
Inside the sensor is a mass (2) that is excited by this
vibration, and the mass exerts a compressive force onto a
piezo-ceramic element (3). The compressive force causes a
charge transfer inside the element, so that an AC voltage
appears across the two outer faces (4) of the element. The
amount of the AC voltage produced is proportional to the
amount of knock.

4.18 Mass Air Flow Sensor
Air Intake System
The air intake system draws outside air through an air
cleaner assembly (1). The air is then routed through a mass
air flow (MAF) sensor (2) and into the throttle body and
intake manifold. The air is then directed into the intake
manifold runners, through the cylinder heads and into the
cylinders.
An arrow marked on the body of the MAF sensor indicates
correct air flow direction. The arrow must point toward the
engine.
Figure 6C1-1 – 43
Mass Air Flow Sensor
A hot film type mass air flow (MAF) sensor is used which
measures the air mass inducted into the engine, regardless
of the engine’s operating state. The MAF precisely
measures a portion of the total airflow and takes into
account the pulsation and reverse flows generated by the
engine’s inlet and exhaust valves.
Changes in intake air temperature have no effect on
measuring accuracy.

Checks Actions
Additional Checks
• Check the exhaust system for possible restrictions. Refer to 6F Exhaust System –
V6.
• Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor can

Additional Information
• Use the J 35616-B Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a
component harness connector.
• Inspect the ignition coils for aftermarket devices. An aftermarket device connected to the ignition coil circuits, may
cause a condition with the ignition coils.
• For an intermittent fault condition, refer to 5.2 Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.
• To assist diagnosis, refer to 3 W iring Diagrams and Connector Charts in this Section, for the system wiring
diagram and connector charts.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4 The ignition coils for each bank are fused separately. If a fuse opens or the ignition 1 voltage circuit opens between the fuse and the splice, all the ignition coils for one bank of the engine would be inoperative. If the ground
circuit opens at the engine block, the ignition coils would be inoperative for one bank of the engine.
5 This step tests for an open or a high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the ignition coil. If the DMM does not display near battery voltage there is an open or a high resistance in the circuit.
6 This step determines if the ground circuit is open. If the circuit is open, the ignition coils would be inoperative for one bank of the engine.
7 This step determines if the ignition 1 voltage circuit is shorted to ground. If the fuse is open, the ignition coils would be inoperative for one bank of the engine.
