Question

Technician A says that a MAF sensor is a high-authority sensor and is responsible for determining the fuel needs of the engine based on the measured amount of air entering the engine. Technician B says that a cold wire MAF sensor uses the electronics in the sensor itself to heat a wire 20°C below the temperature of the air entering the engine. Who is right?
A) Technician A
B) Technician B
C) Both technicians
D) Neither technician

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A says that a MAF sensor is a high-authority sensor and is responsible for determining the fuel needs of the engine based on the measured amount of air entering the engine. Technician B says that a cold wire MAF sensor uses the electronics in the sensor itself to heat a wire 20°C below the temperature of the air entering the engine. Who is right

MAF wich stands for  mass airflow sensor determines the mass of air flowing into the engine's air intake system. ... , the wire cools When air flows past the wire, decreasing its resistance, thereby more current flows through the circuit. When the MAf goes bad, it can not sense the amount of air intake into the engine.
