Ignition Supplied from a fuse.
Signal The control module input circuit has an internal resistance connected to 5 V.
Serial Data Digitally encoded information for communication between devices.
Ground Chassis Ground
Component Description
B75 Mass Airflow Sensor The mass air flow sensor is a hot film type sensor that measures the mass of air (not the volume) entering the engine. The signal varies with engine load and is displayed by the scan tool in Hertz (Hz) and grams per second (g/s).
K20 Engine Control Module The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
