Standard Wave Pattern




Wave Pattern Observation Points
1. Check that cycle time T becomes shorter and the frequency increases when the engine speed is increased.

Examples of Abnormal Wave Patterns




Example 1

Cause of problem
- Sensor interface malfunction.

Wave pattern characteristics
- Rectangular wave pattern is output even when the engine is not started.

Example 2

Cause of problem
- Damaged rectifier or vortex generation column.

Wave pattern characteristics
- Unstable wave pattern with non-uniform frequency.An ignition leak will distort the wave pattern temporarily, even if the volume airflow sensor is normal.
