EMISSION CONTROL - V8

17-2-38 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor and Air Temperature Sensor
The engine management ECM uses the mass air flow sensor to measure the mass of air entering the intake and 
interprets the data to determine the precise fuel quantity which needs to be injected to maintain the stoichiometric 
air:fuel ratio for the exhaust catalysts. If the mass air flow sensor fails, lambda control and idle speed control will be 
affected and the emission levels will not be maintained at the optimum level. If the device should fail and the ECM 
detects a fault, it invokes a software backup strategy.

management.

The air temperature sensor is used by the engine management ECM to monitor the temperature of the inlet air. If the 
device fails, catalyst monitoring will be affected. The air temperature sensor in integral to the mass air flow sensor.

Throttle Position Sensor
If the engine management ECM detects a throttle position sensor failure, it may indicate a blocked or restricted air 
intake filter. Failure symptoms may include:

l

Poor engine running and throttle response

l

Emission control failure

l

No closed loop idle speed control

l

Altitude adaption is incorrect

If a signal failure should occur, a default value is derived using data from the engine load and speed.

Atmospheric pressure will vary with altitude and have a resulting influence on the calculations performed by the ECM 
in determining the optimum engine operating conditions to minimise emissions. The following are approximate 
atmospheric pressures for the corresponding altitudes:

l

0.96 bar at sea level

l

0.70 bar at 2,750 m (9,000 ft.)
