Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Mass airflow meter measures amount of induction airflow. This information is used by PCM to determine adjustments to air/fuel ratio. MAF sensor is a hot-wire type. Sensor maintains hot wire at a predetermined temperature. The greater the airflow across the hot wire, the more current is required to maintain hot wire temperature. Sensor changes the current requirements into a frequency signal which is read by the PCM. The PCM calculates airflow based upon this signal.
