Modern vehicles use a hot wire sensor which entails the use of one hot wire and one ambient temperature wire. The MAF sensor is located between your Mercedes’ throttle body and air filter. When the MAF sensor fails, a range of issues can be experienced by your Mercedes, notably affecting the overall performance of your car.

The ECU is then able to use this data to provide the engine with the correct amount of fuel needed to achieve the optimal air-to-fuel ratio needed for successful ignition. The Mass Air Flow sensor (or MAF sensor)in your Mercedes is responsible for determining the amount of air that enters your vehicle’s engine and then providing the onboard computer, or Engine Control Unit/ECU, with this data reading.
