OPERATION
l The volume air flow sensor is incorporated
within the air cleaner; it functions to convert the
amount of engine air intake to pulse signals of a
frequency proportional to the amount of engine air intake, and to input those/signals to the en-
gine control module. The engine control module
then, based upon those signals, calculates the
amount of fuel injection, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
HINT 1:
If the engine sometimes stalls, try starting the en-
gine and shaking the volume air flow sensor har-
ness.
If the engine then stalls, incorrect or improper con-
tact of the volume air flow sensor connector is the
probable cause.
Hint 2:
If, when the ignition switch is switched ON (but the
engine is not started), the volume air flow sensor
output frequency is any value other than zero, a
malfunction of the volume air flow sensor or of the
engine control module is the probable cause.
Hint 3:
If idling is possible even though the volume air flow
sensor output frequency is deviated from the
stand-
l The power for the volume air flow sensor is supplied from the
multiport fuel injection relay
to the volume air flow sensor, and is grounded
at the engine control module. The volume air
flow sensor, by intermitting the flow of the
5V
voltage applied from the engine control module,
produces pulse signals.
ard value, the cause is usually a malfunction other
than of the volume air flow sensor. Examples:
(1) The flow of air within the volume air flow sensor
is disturbed. (Air duct disconnection or clogged
air cleaner element)
(2) Incomplete combustion within a cylinder.(Malfunction of spark plugs, ingnition coil, injec-
tors, compression pressure, etc.)
(3) Air is taken into the intake manifold through a
leaking gasket, etc.
(4) Incomplete close contact of the EGR valve seat.

OPERATION
l The intake air temperature sensor functions to
convert the temperature of the air (intaken to the
engine) to voltage, and to input that voltage (as
signals) to the eingine control module. The en-
gine control module, based upon those signals,
then corrects the amount of fuel injection, etc.
lThe 5V power supply within the engine control
module is supplied, by way of the resistance
within the unit, to the intake air temperature
sensor; it passes through the intake air temper-
ature sensor, which is a type of resistor, and is
grounded at the engine control module.
Note that the resistance of the intake air
temperaturesensor decreases when the
temperature of the intake air increases.
* The intake air temperature sensor terminal
voltage becomes higher when the resistance of
the intake air temperature sensor increases, and becomes lower when the resistance decreases.
Consequently, the intake air temperature sensor
terminal voltage varies in accordance with the
temperature of the intake air, becoming lower
when the temperature of the intake air
in-
creases.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Because the intake air temperature sensor detects
the temperature of the intake air in the air cleaner, it
indicates a temperature different than the tempera-
ture of the outside air when the engine is running.

OPERATION
l The barometric-pressure sensor functions to
convert the barometric pressure to voltage, and
to input that voltage (as signals) to the engine
control module.
The engine control module, based upon those
signals, then corrects the amount of fuel injec-
tion, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS Hini 1:
If there is a malfunction of the barometric-pressure
sensor,
driveability of the vehicle will become worse
particularly at high altitude.
lThe 5V power supply within the engine control
module is supplied to the barometric-pressure
sensor; it passes through the circuitry within the
sensor, and is grounded at the engine control
module.
lThe barometric-pressure sensor output voltage is sent to the engine control module in propor-
tion to the barometric pressure (absolute pres-
sure).
Hint 2:
If. during high-speed driving, there is a noticeable
sharp drop of the displayed pressure of the
barometric-pressure sensor, check for clogging of
the air cleaner.
