Abstract

See full text

A system, method and device for mass airflow sensor signal processing includes a microcontroller, a mass airflow sensor and an engine PCM. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts a first output signal from the mass airflow sensor to a first VDC value. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts a second VDC value to a second output signal associated with the mass airflow sensor. Transfer functions are obtained from a flow bench using the mass airflow sensor, performance air intake components, and stock air intake components. The microcontroller determines, from the first VDC value, a corresponding actual flow rate. From the actual flow rate, a corresponding stock VDC value is determined. The stock VDC value is then output to the DAC for conversion to the output second signal associated with the mass airflow sensor for communication to the engine PCM.
