Fuel range GU 2010

It would be the higher current which would make the wire red hot.
From a quick bit of research it looks like all hot wire MAF sensors have this "burn-off" function whey they heat( up to1000c) to burn off any crap on the wire. I suppose if they didn't have this function there would be a lot of cars playing up..LOL

For the current to increase you need to increase the voltage, current = voltage/resistance and the resistance of the MAF is going to be a constant so the voltage has to increase to increase the current. They could do this but I would not have thought so but will read up to see.
My fuel economy varies considerably, if I am driving it and not towing I get between 11 & 12 l/100km. the wife usually drives it to and from work which is only 5km from home and she gets around 15l/100km. Have tried to teach her how to drive properly to get better economy but that did not end well.

Not sure it would be a good Idea to have the car running with the maf señor out. Also you can test the maf with a multimeter. Youl have to double check the numbers but from left to right the wires should read
1.5-2 v
0v
6v
Whatever your battery voltage is. 12-13v
Like I said that's what I can remember so I may be a bit off but I'm pretty sure it's the first wire that will tell you if the sensor is playing up. Mine was 1v

IIRC the low reading is the Air flow sensor the higher reading is the Air temp sensor (could be the other way around tho)

Yes, I didn't go into detail of simple circuitry needed to achieve this but as most other vehicles do this i was thinking the Troll might as well. It would be interesting to find out.

Yendor is the elec guru here I believe. Maybe he knows about it.

Yeah, I've sent him a PM this morning to see what he reckons...either way no biggie

Just got a reply from Rodney and he dosn't think this function exists on the Patrols...which is typical Nissan...LOL I suppose they are cheap

so I have ended up with 658km when the fuel light came on,it's on 700 and something apparently,120lt me thinx it's a little thirsty,and then it's also did about 60knm in low range(but I still expected better).So now I know I can clean the Maf and get a catch can and egr plate for now.

[Stropp]

Yep I'm around 700 k's for 148 ltr tank but not sure how much is left in the tank when the light comes on I will have to check how much goes in next time.

I usually get 900klm out of my 120 lt tank. I think I get about 12.5lt per 100. I also have it pretty loaded as it my work car.

Those k's and Ltrs is 13.33L/100
