Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Circuit	Description
5 V Reference	Regulated voltage supplied by the control module.
Signal	The control module input circuit has an internal resistance connected to 5 V.
Low Reference	Grounded through the control module.

Component	Description
B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor	The assembly has several functions: The mass air flow sensor is a hot film type sensor that measures the mass of air (not the volume) entering the engine. The signal varies with engine load and is displayed by the scan tool in Hertz (Hz) and grams per second (g/s). The intake air humidity sensor uses the same signal circuit as the intake air temperature sensor 2. The intake air humidity sensor modulates the pulse width of the signal. The intake air temperature sensor 2 modulates the frequency of the signal. That means the signal is both, PWM and FM modulated. The barometric pressure sensor generates an analog voltage that is proportional to the ambient air pressure. The intake air temperature sensor 1 varies its resistance depending on the temperature. Low temperature produces a high resistance: 5.6 kohms @ 0°C (32°F) High temperature produces a low resistance: 187 ohms @ 100°C (212°F)
K20 Engine Control Module	The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.

B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor

The assembly has several functions:

The mass air flow sensor is a hot film type sensor that measures the mass of air (not the volume) entering the engine. The signal varies with engine load and is displayed by the scan tool in Hertz (Hz) and grams per second (g/s).
The intake air humidity sensor uses the same signal circuit as the intake air temperature sensor 2. The intake air humidity sensor modulates the pulse width of the signal. The intake air temperature sensor 2 modulates the frequency of the signal. That means the signal is both, PWM and FM modulated.
The barometric pressure sensor generates an analog voltage that is proportional to the ambient air pressure.
The intake air temperature sensor 1 varies its resistance depending on the temperature.
- Low temperature produces a high resistance: 5.6 kohms @ 0°C (32°F)
- High temperature produces a low resistance: 187 ohms @ 100°C (212°F)

K20 Engine Control Module

The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
