Volvo 940 Mass Air Flow Sensor

The Volvo 940 Mass Air Flow Sensor plays an appropriate role in maintaining the air fuel mix in the right proportion since it measures each gulp of the intake air and it is up to the Volvo engine computer to determine the exact length of each injector pulse. Two main sensing styles were fitted in this Volvo model family, with the early vane air flow meter being fitted on some examples of the 940 and the more recent hot wire unit being added in as modifications increased efficiency, though both are aimed at achieving the same goal, that of giving the Volvo control unit accurate information on mass based airflow data to control the throttle without either running too rich or too lean. The vane version uses a spring-loaded flap that rotates with the inflow of the stream, the location of which changes the signal to a potentiometer, but despite being simple, it restricts intake, can become stuck when the door is coated with dirt and is prone to wear due to containing moving parts. The hot wire type of Mass Air Flow Sensor uses a thin wire in the airway and then measures the electricity needed to maintain that wire at a desired temperature; additional flow increases the amount of heat dissipated thus resulting in an increase of current, and the computer converts this into a figure of airflow; it provides quicker response and less resistance to breathing, but oil mist or dust may coat the wire. A dirty Mass Air Flow Sensor normally causes hesitation, stalling, a lean or rich mixture and a lit check engine light; hence ensuring that the air track is sealed and the sensor element is free of problems can ensure that all Volvos breathe properly and provide damage-free power.

Volvo 940 Mass Air Flow Sensor Parts and Q&A

  • Q: What are the features and testing procedures for the Mass Air Flow Sensor on Volvo 940?
    A:
    The sensor inside the air mass meter has a wire that is kept at 250degF (120degC) above the ambient air temperature of incoming air. As the air mass increases, more current is required to maintain the correct wire temperature and this current is used to calculate the air mass intake. When the engine is shut off, any dirt on the wire gets burned off electrically by heating the element to 1832degF (1000degC) for 1 second; any tiny bit of dirt left could cause wrong signals to be sent to the control unit, resulting in a wrong air/fuel mixture. To test the MAF sensor, it is necessary to disconnect the connector, then by wiring diagrams find the signal ground wire and measure the resistance with a DVOM, it should be 0 ohms. Next, locate the signal circuit and measure the voltage between it and ground with ignition in ON position, it should be equal to battery voltage. After plugging the MAF sensor connector back in, backprobe the signal return and signal ground with the key in the ON position, expecting a voltage of 0.1 - 0.2v. If the voltage is okay, make sure all the connections are tight or change the MAF sensor. To remove it, disconnect the negative battery cable, unplug the sensor connector and remove the two retaining screws to remove the sensor. To install, fit the sensor into the air inlet hose, tighten the retaining screws on the sensor, plug in the connector and reconnect the negative battery cable.
