Read our short guide with information on costs, symptoms and more.
The mass air flow sensor (MAF) is used to determine the flow rate of air entering into the intake system.
There are two types of mass airflow sensors that are commonly used by manufacturers, a cane meter and a hot wire version. On basic versions, there are three wires that are used, one reports back the a signal of the air mass and one of the air temperature (and one feed wire). This information is then used with the information being fed back by lambda sensors to make corrections to the fueling of the engine and make it more efficient.
You may experience some or a number of the following;
The basic fact is that if your mass air flow sensor has failed, it needs to be replaced before the car will drive correctly.
However, as there are many other issues that can cause the same symptom, it is better to have a diagnostic done prior to spending money replacing it.
Although the units are getting more reliable, there is still a chance this can occur at least once in a vehicle's lifetime.
Regular changes of the air filter in line with manufacturer's recommendations will prevent dirty air tarnishing the sensor.
So-called “sports” air filters, especially those that use oil to trap dust particles are well known for causing mass airflow sensor failures. This is even more common when an owner decides to clean the air filter and then over oils it, before putting it back in. The excess oil goes onto the mass airflow sensor and contaminates it.
Depending on the manufacturer, a number of different processes will need to be done in order to access the mass air flow sensor, however the mechanic will need to do some of the following basic steps
The cost of replacing a mass air flow sensor depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having the mass air flow sensor replaced by ClickMechanic, by selecting your car at the top of this page!
