Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The mass airflow sensor gives engine control module (ECM) information about the air mass that passes through the sensor, which then is sent into the engine as well as the temperature of that air.
The values should be regarded as approximate.
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR
| Type | Voltage feed (# component pin) | Value (# component pin) | Miscellaneous (# component pin) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combined mass airflow sensor with air temperature sensor | 12 V (#1) (air mass) 5 V (# 4) (air temperature) |
1 V = 1.3 g/s at 20°C 4.4 V = 170 g/s at 20°C (#3 - #2) 16 kΩ at -20°C 6 kΩ at 0°C 2.5 kΩ at 20°C 0.6 kΩ at 60°C (#4 - #5) |
(#2) signal ground (air mass) (#3) output signal (air mass) (#5) signal ground (air temperature) |
