Camshaft
PositionSensor(CMPS)

The camshaft positionsensorisabasic component ofthe
ECCS. Itmonitors enginespeedandpiston position. These
input signals tothe ECM areused tocontrol fuelinjection, igni-
tion timing andother functions.
The camshaft positionsensorhasarotor plate andawave-
forming circuit.Therotor plate has360slits fora

nal and 4slits fora180

(REF) signal. Thewave-forming circuit
consists ofLight Emitting Diodes(LED)andphoto diodes.
The rotor plate ispositioned betweentheLED andthephoto
diode. TheLED transmits lighttothe photo diode. Asthe rotor
plate turns, theslits cutthe light togenerate rough-shaped •
pulses. Thesepulses areconverted intoon-off signals bythe
wave-forming circuitandsent tothe ECM.

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.
