Output signal of MAF, made by BOSCH is a variable voltage in the range 1 - 5V, whose value depends on the mass of air flow through the sensor. At zero air flow (engine stopped) the sensor output voltage should be equal to - Otherwise, the sensor is considered damaged.
It converts a voltage reading into a grams per second g/s reading that is an INPUT to the PCM. Now the MAF in an explorer may or may not have an IAT (Intake air temp sensor) integrated into it. Check the intake tube for a sensor about 10 inches from the air box, if there is a sensor there than the IAT is external. If not. Internal in the MAF.
2013-02-01· Air Flow Rate From MAF-- The airflow rate as measured by the mass air flow sensor. Absolute Throttle Position-- The absolute throttle position (not the relative or learned) throttle position. Usually above 0% at idle and less than 100% at full throttle. Calculated Load Value-- Indicates a percentage of peak available torque. Reaches 100% at wide open throttle at any altitude or RPM for …
2017-12-16· Quick test to tell if Mass Air Flow Sensor is bad or dirty which could be causing your car or truck to run bad or keep cutting off.
2013-07-01· In general, a “hot wire” MAF sensor produces an input to the PCM when a low-amperage electrical current is passed through a metal-film resistor suspended in the MAF’s air stream. The amperage flow through the resistor changes because the electrical resistance of the resistor is responding to the cooling effects of rapidly moving air. This variation in current flow, which is a base …
2014-01-21· Will a mass air flow sensor show a reading on the Edge at a idle? I did a small bump of the throttle but the truck is cold and I didn't want to get silly with it. But even then no change in readings. Im chasing the EGT monster and this is one of the sensors that was suggested that I take a look at. Thanks for the help guys. BPD OIL COOLER W/COLD WEATHER PACK & BPD oil bypass amsiol …
2020-07-31· Air flow measurement is a HUGE input on Mass Airflow sensor (MAF) equipped vehicles. It can affect fuel delivery, transmission shifting and more. MAF sensors are one of the most common “Shotgun” parts that technicians swap. During diagnosis mass air flow sensor codes are usually an indication of another underlying problem. In addition, mass air flow sensor …
2021-02-22· If you disconnect the mass airflow sensor, then the car should keep running and still be able to start normally. This is because the computer in the car if it does not receive a reading from the mass airflow sensor, will estimate and supply a number that it thinks it is supposed to have. This means that if your mass airflow sensor dies ...
MAF Sensor Testing The Tech-Assist Team It’s always a good idea to test a Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor before replacing it. Here is a fast and accurate way to track a MAF’s performance and output to the PCM. Connect a scan tool to see the MAF sensor Parameter Identification Data (PID) information. With the engine at idle, the MAF’s PID value should read anywhere from 2 to 7 grams/second (g ...
2021-01-03· Furthermore, the mass air flow (MAF) sensor, also measures the temperature of the incoming air. The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is always located, in the air stream, before the throttle body. There actually are a few different types, of mass air flow (MAF) sensors. I would say the most common one used today is what is known as, the “hot-wire ...
2014-09-01· In answer to your question to 6 is correct MAF reading for warmed up idle, remember it's calculated PCM looks at IAT and MAS (sensor frequency) to calculate the weight of the air in grams per/sec. If MAF was bad to run 18% lean you MAF would have to …
2018-04-30· There is the full throttle/full load test others use and that is measure the MAF sensor readings at full throttle in 2/3 gear and the engine at maximum rpm. The value you get, 'should' be ~80% of the rated horsepower. - So for example the turbo engine, rated at 180hp, should have a max flow of about 144g/s. I suggest to data log the values and then review, concentrate on driving, let VCDS ...
2011-03-14· 2. 3. Testing the Ford mass air flow (MAF) sensor on all of the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars and trucks is a very simple test that can be done without a scan tool. All you need is a multimeter. I recommend using a digital multimeter but an analog multimeter can also be used. Ford has used a Hot-Wire type mass air flow sensor for many years ...
2018-10-22· The symptoms of a bad mass air flow sensor include low engine power, poor fuel economy, an engine that won’t start, a check engine light on the dash and a gas smell from the exhaust fumes. A bad mass air flow sensor is often the likely culprit if your car isn’t running as it should. The job of the mass air flow sensor is to keep track of the amount of air coming in through the air …
2021-07-09· Often mass air flow sensor readings are measured at idle, 1,000 RPM, 2,000 RPM and 3,000 RPM. A contaminated or bad air flow sensor will, in most cases, show lower air flow readings than a known good one. In some rare cases a bad sensor may show higher readings. Of course, different engines will have different readings.
The MAP sensor reading is factored in with engine RPM to calculate volumetric efficiency. This is known as Speed Density (engine speed and density of the air charge). Volumetric efficiency (VE) is the term used to describe the amount of air an engine is ingesting vs. the amount of air it can actually hold, expressed in a percentage. If the engine is ingesting the maximum amount of air it can ...
2019-08-06· There are other codes related to the mass air flow sensor as well, but these are the most common ones. Here’s a fantastic video on how to diagnose a bad MAF sensor using a multimeter from Ratchets and Wrenches on YouTube. Cleaning the Mass Airflow Sensor. Often, the mass airflow sensor really only needs cleaning when they go bad. Some folks recommend using alcohol because …
2018-10-22· The symptoms of a bad mass air flow sensor include low engine power, poor fuel economy, an engine that won’t start, a check engine light on the dash and a gas smell from the exhaust fumes. A bad mass air flow sensor is often the likely culprit if your car isn’t running as it should. The job of the mass air flow sensor is to keep track of the amount of air coming in through the air filter ...
2009-01-22· How To Test The GM MAF Sensor (, , , And ) This is one of the easiest mass air flow sensors to Test. The following Test is an On Car Test that checks the performance of the MAF sensor with the engine running. You'll test this GM MAF sensor with a multimeter that can read Hertz (Hz) Frequency.

2020-01-13· Question: My mass air flow sensor on an 88 Camaro reads 5-volt reference between signal and ground while running and unplugged, on the ECM side, at idle. Shouldn't the mass air flow sensor dictate the voltage going out to the ECM? While plugged in, there is erratic non-detectable voltage, on/off, on/off. My ground tests good, and I have excellent battery voltage on ECM side of the …
The 50 g/s max flow reading that you are getting is far lower than what merely altitude can explain. The chart above shows that at about 5,200 ft above sea level, the density of air is 83% of what it is at sea level ( lb/ vs. .075 lb/). So to account for the altitude, you should multiply your expected mass flow by
2020-03-23· Attach an analog voltmeter to the appropriate MAF sensor output terminal. With the engine idling, the sensor should be putting out a steady volts. The older AC Delco MAF sensors (like a V6) should show a steady reading of 30 to 50 Hz at idle and 70 to 75 Hz at 3,500 rpm. Furthermore, how many miles does a MAF sensor last?
The MAF sensor simply measures the mass (amount) of air coming into the engine so that the PCM can add the correct amount of fuel. A rule of thumb on a MAF's air flow rate at 500 rpm is 1 gram per second per liter of engine displacement. It looks like this reading is g/s so was your RPM about 833 or idle?
