How does the mass air flow ( MAF ) sensor work?

The Mass Air Flow ( MAF) sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It measures the intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire intake flow. It consists of a hot film that is supplied with electric current from the Engine Control Module ( ECM ). The temperature of the hot film is controlled by the ECM a certain amount.

What does the p0103 Ford MAF sensor mean?

P0103 FORD Meaning The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It measures the intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire intake flow. It consists of a hot film that is supplied with electric current from the Engine Control Module (ECM).

Is the Ford mass air flow ( MAF ) sensor inside?

Ford has used a Hot-Wire type mass air flow sensor for many years that either comes with or without an internal air temperature sensor. If the MAF sensor has 6 wires, then this is a dead giveaway that it has the air temp sensor integrated inside.

What to do if your Ford MAF sensor is dirty?

The most common fix I’ve performed on the majority of MAF sensor problems on Fords have been cleaning it. Now, the symptoms that accompany a dirty (contaminated) Ford MAF sensor are not that harsh or noticeable on engine performance (of course this is not an absolute truth).

How does the MAF sensor work at idle?

The MAF sensor produces an analog voltage signal. This MAF signal’s DC voltage is directly related to amount of air the engine is breathing. Therefore, if the engine is breathing in more air at 2500 RPM’s that at an idle of 900RPM’s the voltage output will be greater at 2500 RPM’s than at idle.

When to perform mass air flow sensor service?

Once the service has been completed, start the engine and allow the computer to recalculate feedback data and make necessary adjustments. A mass air flow sensor service is an important part of an engine tune up and should be performed at regular intervals.

How long can a MAF sensor be in service?

They can remain in service indefinitely as long as they continue to function correctly. However, MAF sensors are critical to engine performance, good gas mileage, and low emissions.

What happens when the MAF is in operation?

When the MAF is in operation intake air from the engine passes through it which has impurities which are not removed by the air filter such as heavy air practical’s.
