Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is integrated with the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the IAT signal circuit, and a ground to the low reference circuit.
