Function 

2 temperature-dependent resistors (air temperature and current sensor) lie in the air intake stream of the hot film MAF sensor. By changing the air mass flow the flow sensor is cooled more or less strongly. The electronics in the hot film MAF sensor module regulates the heating current through the flow sensor at a constant temperature which is above the intake air temperature. This heating current is converted into a frequency analogue signal. This frequency serves the CDI control unit as information about the air mass. The intake air temperature is determined over the separate intake air temperature sensor with a resistor with negative temperature coefficients (NTC). The change in voltage is converted in combination with a pull-up resistor (voltage divider) in the CDI control unit into a voltage analogue signal and is available as information about the intake air temperature.
