Mass
AirFlow Sensor (MAFS)

The mass airflow sensor isplaced inthe stream ofintake air.
It measures theintake flowratebymeasuring apart ofthe
entire intake flow.Itconsists ofahot wire thatissupplied with
electric currentfromtheECM. Thetemperature ofthe hotwire
is controlled bythe ECM acertain amount. Theheat generated
by the hotwire isreduced asthe intake airflows around it.The
more air,thegreater theheat loss.
Therefore, theECM mustsupply moreelectric currenttomain-
tain thetemperature ofthe hotwire asair flow increases. The

SEF781K
ECMdetects theairflow bymeans ofthis current change.
