Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Fig. 26 Air Flow Meter Inspection:





1. Remove air flow meterFig. 26.
2. Check air flow meter body for cracks, replacing as necessary.
3. Ensure measuring plate moves smoothly.

4. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals, Fig. 28, with measuring plate fully closed and fully open. There should be 20-400 ohms between terminals E2 and VS with plate fully closed and 20-1000 ohms with plate fully open, 100-400 ohms between terminals E2 and VC regardless of plate position and 200-400 ohms between terminals E2 and VB regardless of plate position. Resistance between terminals E2 and THA, regardless of plate position, should be 13.6-18.4k ohms at -4°F, 2.21-2.69k ohms at 68°F and 493-667 ohms at 140°F. Resistance between terminals E1 and FC should be infinite with plate fully closed and zero ohms with plate fully open.
