Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor

MAF sensor is integrated into air cleaner assembly. EGR volume is affected by MAF sensor, depending on altitude and ambient air pressure. MAF sensor provides ECM with a decreasing voltage signal with decreasing air pressure (increasing altitude). ECM adjusts EGR volume to ambient air pressure by reducing current to a vacuum transducer.
