Engine Controls - Sensor Operating Range Charts: Introduction

1990 Hyundai Excel Base, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION Introduction

Sensor operating range information can help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may not set a trouble code, but it may cause driveability problems.

NOTE: All voltage tests should be performed with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure.
AIRFLOW SENSOR VOLTAGE TEST(1)

Between Terminals Voltage
3 & 6 2.7-3.2
(1) Measure voltage with engine idling at normal operating temperature. See Fig 1 .

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
