Mass Airflow Sensor -G70-, CHECKING

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Audi Q7, 2009 Audi Q7, 2008 Audi Q7, and 2007 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

General Description 

The signal from the Mass Airflow Sensor -G70- is used in the Engine Control Module -J623- to calculate the volumetric efficiency. Based on the volumetric efficiency, and taking into consideration the lambda value and ignition timing, the Engine Control Module -J623- calculates the engine torque.

Special tools and workshop equipment required
