MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is mounted
inline in the air intake between the air filter and the
turbocharger (Fig. 8).
OPERATION
The ECM uses the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to
measure air density. The MAF sensor contains a
ceramic element. A signal voltage is provided to the
element. As engine speed increases, airflow across
the ceramic element increases. Changes in air flow
and air density cause the temperature of the ceramic
element to fluxuate. The ceramic element changes
resistance respectively to changes in temperature.
The change in resistance varies the signal voltage
output to the ECM. The diesel power relay supplies
battery power the to MAF sensor. Ground is provided
by the ECM. The MAF sensor signal is provided by
the ECM.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Disconnect MAF sensor electrical connector
(Fig. 9).
(3) Loosen MAF sensor retaining clamps (Fig. 9).
(4) Remove MAF sensor from airduct (Fig. 9).
INSTALLATION
(1) Install MAF sensor in airduct (Fig. 9).
(2) Tighten retaining clamps (Fig. 9).
(3) Connect MAF sensor electrical connector (Fig.
9).
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
