A Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is a component in a vehicle's engine management system that measures the amount of air entering the engine.
It is typically located in the air intake system, just after the air filter.
The sensor uses a heated wire or film element to measure the amount of air flowing through it.
As air flows over the heated element, the temperature of the element changes, and the sensor measures this change to determine the mass of the air passing through it.
This information is then used by the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust the fuel injection and ignition timing, ensuring that the engine runs efficiently and produces as little harmful emissions as possible.
MAF sensors are critical to the proper functioning of a vehicle's engine management system, and any issues with the sensor can cause a variety of problems, including poor fuel economy, reduced power, and increased emissions.
Common problems with MAF sensors include dirty or contaminated sensor elements, damaged or worn wiring, or a malfunctioning heating element.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the MAF sensor can help prevent issues and ensure that the engine is running at peak efficiency.
If you suspect that your MAF sensor may be faulty, it is best to have it diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic to avoid further damage to your vehicle.
