TROUBLEDIAGNOSIS FORDTC12
Mass AirFlow Sensor (MAFS)

The mass airflow sensor measures theintake airflow rateby
taking apart ofthe entire flow.Measurements aremade insuch
a manner thattheECM receives electrical outputsignals var-
ied bythe amount ofheat emitting fromthehotwire placed in
the stream ofthe intake air.
When intake airflows intotheintake manifold througharoute
around thehotwire, theheat generated fromthehotwire is
taken awaybythe air.The amount ofheat depends onthe air
flow. Onthe other hand, thetemperature ofthe ..hot wire is

SEF154N
automatically controlledtoacertain number ofdegrees.
Therefore, itis necessary tosupply thehotwire withmore •
electric currentinorder tomaintain thetemperature ofthe hot
wire. TheECM knows theairflow bymeans ofthe electric
c~ange.

Coolant Temperature Sensor(ECTS)

The engine coolant temperature sensorisused todetect the
engine coolant temperature. Thesensor modifies avoltage sig-
nal from theECM. Themodified signalreturns tothe ECM as
the engine coolant temperature input.Thesensor usesather-
mistor whichissensitive tothe change intemperature. The
electrical resistance ofthe thermistor decreases astempera-
ture increases.
