Role of the injection ECU according to the data received :

To calculate the density of the ambient air

To work out the amount of fuel to inject

Description

The air temperature probe is incorporated into the air flow meter (1310) .

The sensor consists of a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) resistor .

The more the temperature increases, the more its resistance value is reduced .

Electrical specifications :
