Honda CR-V Mass Air Flow Sensors & Components

In gasoline engines, the power developed at a given moment depends on the flow of incoming air which, in its turn, depends on the gas pedal's position. When the throttle of your Honda CR-V opens wider, the ECU makes the fuel system supply more gasoline, and there are two main sensors directly responsible for adequate acceleration – the throttle position sensor (TPS) and mass airflow sensor (MAF). The latter commonly relies on two sensing wires; one of them is made of platinum and is able to change its electrical resistance in a predictable way, depending on the flow of passing air.

The current on these wires is accurately measured by the MAF sensor's inner electronics and transformed into a series of impulses transferred to the ECU. Over time, sensing wires get covered with dirt which notably affects the accuracy of the device. In most cases, cleaning the sensor with a thin brush or special liquid allows for restoring its performance; in other cases, a new MAF is the only possible solution.
