Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
2003 Hyundai Tiburon V6-2.7LSECTION Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR
This hot film type air flow sensor is composed of a hot film sensor, housing, metering duct (hybrid, sensor element). Mass air flow rate is measured by detection of heat transfer from a hot film probe because the change of the mass air flow rate causes change in the amount of heat being transferred from the hot film probe surface to the air flow. The air flow sensor generates a pulse so it repeatedly opens and closes between the 5V voltage supplied from the engine control module. This results in the change of the temperature of the hot film probe and in the change of resistance.
