Air Mass Sensor
To comply with the legally specified emission limits for motor vehicles, a specific air-fuel ratio must be precisely maintained. This requires the use of sensors which accurately record the actual air-mass flow and output this in the form of an electrical signal to the control electronics. The sensor is used to measure the air-mass flow in internal combustion engines for precise adaptation of the injected fuel quantity to the current power requirement, atmospheric pressure and air temperatures.

Why choose a Bosch Air Mass Sensor?

Bosch air mass sensors are built to exacting specifications as required for such a sensitive measuring device. Through a precise manufacturing process, the correct type and thickness of platinum wire or thick film ceramic measuring elements are selected and accurately calibrated to provide optimum performance for the customer.

Poor quality air mass sensors can dramatically impact on a vehicles drivability resulting in flat spotting, backfire, poor acceleration and excessive emissions.

Reproduction or poor quality air mass sensors can cause:

• Higher fuel consumption, up to 20%.
• Poor driveability, loss of power/torque.
• Danger of engine damage, due to excessive lean mixture at full load.
• Danger of catalytic converter damage.
• Higher pollutant emissions.
• Reduced component service life
