Diagnostic Fault Information

Typical Scan Tool Data

Circuit/System Description

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is integrated with the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. The MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the

amount of air entering the engine. The engine control module (ECM) uses the MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery for all engine

speeds and loads. A small quantity of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or idle condition. A large quantity of air entering the engine

indicates an acceleration or high load condition. The MAF/IAT sensor has the following circuits:

* Ignition 1 voltage circuit

* Ground circuit

* MAF sensor signal circuit

* IAT sensor signal circuit

* IAT low reference circuit

The ECM applies 5 V to the MAF sensor on the MAF sensor signal circuit. The sensor uses the voltage to produce a frequency based on the inlet

air flow through the sensor bore. The frequency varies in a range of near 2,000 Hertz at idle to near 10,000 Hertz at maximum engine load.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is running for more than 1 s.

* The ignition 1 signal is greater than 8 V.

* The above conditions are met for greater than 1 s.

* The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
