2 Fault storage
Actuation of the engine diagnosis indicator lamp (EURO3/4)
or CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY
after expiry of test duration and fault
following two successive driving cycles with faults
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Signal limits from hot film mass air flow sensor
5 Fault setting conditions 
Checking duration
  • For ignition ON, the hot film MAF sensor signal must be 0.98 to 1.03 V.
  • Plausibility : At partial load the air mass must not deviate by more than ±30% from the reference value. The reference value is calculated from the throttle valve angle, engine speed, intake air temperature, barometric pressure and intake manifold absolute pressure.
  • About 5 seconds per limit value
6 Check prerequisites
  • no cylinder-selective inertia fuel cut-off active
  • ESP not active
  • engine speed greater than 400 rpm
  • no fault in throttle valve actual value potentiometer
  • change in engine load less than 20 to 70%
  • battery voltage less than approx. 15.6 V.
7 IMPORTANT In case of plausibility faults check the grid on the hot-film MAF for dirt. A further causes could be a high ohm shunt (e.g. in a connector).
