CIRCUIT OPERATION
• The volume airflow sensor power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal No. 4), and the ground is provided on the ECM (terminal No. 40) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 16) <A/T>.
• 5-volt power is applied to the volume airflow sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3) from the ECM (terminal No. 90) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 65) <A/T>. The volume airflow sensor generates a pulse signal when the output terminal and ground are opened/closed (opened/short). TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
• While the engine is running, the volume airflow sensor outputs a pulse signal which corresponds to the volume of air flow.
• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> checks whether the frequency of this signal output by the volume airflow sensor while the engine is running is at or above the set value. DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
• An open or short circuit is detected while monitoring the output frequency of the volume airflow sensor. MONITOR EXECUTION
