DESCRIPTION

The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the intake air volume using the following built-in components:
· By-pass duct (allows some of the intake air to flow past a silicon chip sensor)
· Silicon chip sensor (uses a heater control bridge circuit and temperature sensor bridge circuit to detect the difference in
the temperature of the intake air that passes the sensors positioned before and after the heater)
· Control circuit (converts the difference in temperature into a pulse signal and performs correction)

Intake air flows past the temperature sensor (before heater), the heater, and then the temperature sensor (after heater) of the
silicon chip sensor in the by-pass duct. As the intake air is warmed up when it is exposed to the heater, the temperature of the
intake air as it flows past the temperature sensor (after heater) is higher than when it flows past the temperature sensor (before
heater). The difference in temperature of the intake air at each temperature sensor varies depending on the velocity of the
intake air that flows past the silicon chip sensor. The temperature sensor bridge circuit detects the difference in temperature and
the control circuit converts it into a pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM. When the temperature detected by the temperature
sensor (before heater) is higher than that detected by the temperature sensor (after heater), backflow of the intake air is
detected.
The ECM calculates the intake air volume based on the pulse signal received from the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
The heater control bridge circuit has a temperature sensor and power transistor, and maintains the heater temperature at a
specific temperature.

HINT:
If DTC P010012 or P010014 is stored, the following symptoms may appear (as the ECM mistakenly determines that
there is less or more air than the actual intake air amount, EGR is decreased according to the target EGR):
- Combustion noise worsens

NOTICE:
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here Engine / Hybrid System>1GD-FTV (ENGINE
CONTROL)>ECD SYSTEM (w/ DPF [Production date from 2021/08])>REGISTRATION) and initialization (Click here Engine /
Hybrid System>1GD-FTV (ENGINE CONTROL)>ECD SYSTEM (w/ DPF [Production date from 2021/08])>INITIALIZATION).

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When
troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or
not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
