Greetings, the denomination is correct, MAF (for its acronym in English Mass Air Flow) mass, air, flow, ordering it would be a air flow sensor that is nothing more than the air flow that enters the engine; Contrary to the MAP (Mass Air Pressure) or air mass pressure sensor (it sounds a bit weird) measures the air pressure differential inside the engine with respect to the atmosphere, in both cases when there is a leakage or breakage of some air hose, the system detects a flow drop (MAF) or pressure (MAP), in the flow case the ECUJO low MAP case most of the ECUs tend to increase fuel and alter the advance. Currently, ECUs are able to detect a MAF fault by comparing the signal with the position of the TPS, generating a DTC relating this failure with a leak (Leak).
