How does the MAF and TPS sensors work?

How does the MAF and TPS sensors work?

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP), mass airflow (MAF), and throttle position (TPS) sensors keep track of the engine’s air intake in different ways.

What is the p0068 code for the MAF and MAP sensors?

A discrepancy in the readings from the MAP, MAF, and TPS sensors can trigger code P0068. The PCM regularly tests all three sensors by comparing the TPS readings with the ones from the MAF and MAP sensors. The reading from each sensor should correspond to the equivalent data on the other sensors—otherwise, the PCM may log a P0068 code.

Can a faulty MAF sensor cause a p1101 code?

If one or more of these sensors sends inaccurate signals to the PCM, the computer may send the wrong amount of fuel or activate the ignition system at the wrong time. The PCM can also set other codes associated with whatever developed the problem. For example, a faulty MAF sensor may trigger a P1101 code along with a P0068.

What causes a lean condition on a MAF sensor?

This means that any vacuum or air leak downstream of the sensor will result in insufficient fuel metering, causing a lean condition in open-loop operation and higher-than-normal fuel trim values in closed-loop. When we encounter a MAF sensor-equipped vehicle exhibiting these symptoms, we need to check for unmetered airflow first.

Is the fuel control system centered on MAF or map?

Fuel control systems for most modern gasoline engines are centered either on MAF or MAP (manifold absolute pressure).
