The Mass Air Flow Sensor in a Toyota Sienna measures the amount of air entering the engine, thus allowing the ECU to determine the right fuel delivery. Each Sienna model's Mass Air Flow Sensor transmits this information to the powertrain control module. There are two main types that are referenced for Toyota Sienna applications: a vane air flow meter and a hot wire Mass Air Flow Sensor. The vane design mechanism has a spring-loaded flap that is connected to a potentiometer. As the air comes in, it moves the flap, which changes an electric signal. The electric signal is a representation of air mass. The problem with the mechanism is that it can restrict flow and there can be mechanical wear. The hot wire method involves a heated wire suspended in the intake stream. As air passes by, this air cools down the wire. The sensor, however, measures the current required to keep it at temperature. Furthermore, it auto-adjusts itself whenever there is a change in air density. If there are contaminants on either the vane or hot wire, it can cause hesitation, stalling, rich or lean mixtures, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and a check engine light. Cleaning and checking the Mass Air Flow Sensor surface consistency ensures the signals are accurate for stable operation of the Mass Air Flow Sensor in the Toyota Sienna.
