Sensor, Mass Airflow (MAF): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The micromechanical Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor (2) is a hot film thermal flowmeter with an integrated temperature sensor which detects the intake air temperature. The sensor is designed for recording load on combustion engines with diesel fuel injection and has a cylinder size in accordance with the required air flow rate. The MAF sensor is mounted inline in the air intake between the air filter and the Charge Air Cooler (CAC).
