What MAF Sensors Do
MAF sensors measure intake airflow and send this information to the ECU. When the ECU receives the information from the MAF sensor and oxygen sensors, it makes adjustments to the amount of fuel being injected into the engine to compensate for excess air or excess fuel.
When a Delphi MAF sensor is used in combination with Delphi oxygen sensors, the engine's air/fuel ratio can be controlled much more accurately. All of these functions ensure accurate air/fuel ratio for optimal engine performance in any driving condition.
Why Sensors Fail
Contamination is a key reason why MAF sensors fail and require replacement. As air, dirt and other debris get into the sensor, the parts become contaminated and result in failure. Drivers often notice sluggish performance or a more frequent need to refuel.
FOUR REASONS TO CHOOSE DELPHI’S MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR LINE
1. OE Engineered
Unlike offerings from many competitors, Delphi MAF sensors are brand-new, never remanufactured. We engineer our Delphi MAF sensors to the same stringent standards as the parts we make for the top global OEMs. Every sensor we sell is calibrated to match the OE part and also features resistors and circuit board technology unique to Delphi. This combination makes our MAF sensors the global benchmark for accuracy and signal noise.
2. Over 30 Years of Expertise
As a leading manufacturer of OE MAF sensors, Delphi has been at the forefront of the MAF sensor evolution from the original hot film designs to our current probe solution. Thanks to our decades of expertise, we are able to offer smart consolidations that cover 92 percent of vehicles in operation with only 100 SKUs.
3. Exact Calibration
Delphi MAF sensors feature proprietary sensing elements that provide highly accurate readings and airflow output to the ECU over a wide range of ambient temperatures. All parts are tested and calibrated to OE standards using highly accurate OE equipment. Our rigorous testing helps us deliver exact fit, form and function for every sensor. That’s what we mean when we say it’s not just quality, it’s Delphi quality.
4. Innovative Design
Ninety-eight percent of the time it is the sensing electronics in the probe that fail. Delphi’s probe-only design allows technicians to focus on the part that needs to be replaced, making for an easier and greener repair. Our sensor design also provides low restriction air measurement for increased horsepower and greater temperature compensation for outstanding performance over a wide range of conditions.
