Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Isuzu Hombre. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor measures amount of air entering engine during a given time. Vehicle Control Module (VCM) uses MAF sensor information for fuel delivery calculations. MAF sensor readings during acceleration are much higher than those during deceleration or idle.
VCM calculates MAF sensor reading under certain conditions using engine speed (RPM), throttle position, and altitude parameters. When these test conditions are met, VCM will compare its calculated MAF value to actual value received from sensor.
Conditions required to set DTC are:
- Engine running.
- Engine run time greater than .4 second.
- System voltage is at least 8 volts.
- Conditions must be present for a period of greater than zero seconds.
