When
the
engine
is
running,
a
current
is
used
to
heat
a
thin

wire
in
the
center
of
the
sensor
.
See
Fig
.
25
.
The
current
in
the

wire
is
regulated
to
maintain
a
temperature
of
100°C
more

than
the
air
passing
over
it
.
The
current
used
to
heat
the
wire

is
electronically
conneced
into
a
voltage
measurement
corre-

sponding
to
the
mass
of
intake
a¡
r
.

To
keep
the
wire
clean,
it
is
heated
to
a
temperature
of
about

1,000°C
(1,830°F)
for
one
second
.
This
"burn-off"
cycle
takes

place
automatically,
four
seconds
after
the
engine
is
tumed
off
.

lf
thehot
wire
breaks
or
if
there
is
no

from
the

sensor,
the

automatically
switches
to
a

only
.
They

do
not

.
If
the

is
suspected
of
causing

substitut-
ing
a
known
good

is
the
best
way
to
check
for

Generally,
absence
of
voltage
or
continuity
means
there
is
a
wiring
or
connector
problem
.
Test
results
with
incorrect
values
do
notnecessarily
mean
that
a
component
is
faulty
:
Check
for
loose,
broken
or
corroded
connections
and
wiring
before
re-
placing
components
.
If
the
results
are
still
incorrect,
test
the
component
itself
.
For
engine
management
system
electrical
schematics,
see
Electrical
Wiring
Diagrams
.

CAUTION-

Always
waitat
least
40
seconds
after
tuniing
off
the
ignition
before
removing
the
connector
from
the
engine
control
module
(ECM)
.
If
the
connec-
tor
is
removed
before
this
time,
residual
power
in
the
system
relay
may
damage
the
ECM
.

"
Always
connector
disconnect
the
control
module
connector
and
meter
probes
with
the
ignitionoff
.

When
making
checks
at
the
ECM
itself,
a
breakout
box
should
be
used
to
allow
tests
to
be
made
with
the
connector
attached
to
the
ECM
.
This
also
prevents
damage
tothe
small
termínals
in
the
connector
.
As
an
alternative,
theharness
con-
nector
housing
can
be
separated
so
that
electrical
checks
can
be
made
from
the
back
of
the

.
