 This option in DSMLink is provided for users running a non-factory airflow metering device that does not need varying intake or barometric pressure signals. ​ Typically this would be a GM MAF used with a GM MAF translator. This option in DSMLink is provided for users running a non-factory airflow metering device that does not need varying intake or barometric pressure signals. ​ Typically this would be a GM MAF used with a GM MAF translator.
  
-A factory Mitsubishi airflow meter works by measuring temperature,​ pressure, and volumetric airflow data and sending all three pieces of information to the ECU which then calculates the **mass** airflow value. ​ Note that the metering device only measures temperature,​ pressure and **volumetric** data.  The ECU then calculates the **mass** airflow value it needs to correctly determine fuel delivery requirements.  **Mass** is the important value here, not **volume**.+A factory Mitsubishi airflow meter works by measuring temperature,​ pressure, and volumetric airflow data and sending all three pieces of information to the ECU which then calculates the **mass** airflow value. ​ Note that the metering device only measures temperature,​ pressure and **volumetric** data.  The ECU then calculates the **mass** airflow value from these three pieces of data.  **Mass** ​airflow ​is the important value here, not **volume**, for calculating fuel demand.
  
 So when running with a factory Mitsubishi airflow meter, the ECU must see all three signals from this sensor. ​ When running something like a GM MAF with a MAF translator (MAFT), however, it does not.  That's because the GM MAF measures **mass** airflow directly. ​ The translator'​s job, then, is to take this mass airflow data and send it to the ECU in some way that the ECU can end up calculating the same mass value as the GM MAF originally indicated. ​ The translator does this by holding the temperature and pressure inputs to the ECU at a constant, known value and then varying the volumetric signal. ​ The result, inside the ECU, is a mass airflow calculation that ends up producing the right value. So when running with a factory Mitsubishi airflow meter, the ECU must see all three signals from this sensor. ​ When running something like a GM MAF with a MAF translator (MAFT), however, it does not.  That's because the GM MAF measures **mass** airflow directly. ​ The translator'​s job, then, is to take this mass airflow data and send it to the ECU in some way that the ECU can end up calculating the same mass value as the GM MAF originally indicated. ​ The translator does this by holding the temperature and pressure inputs to the ECU at a constant, known value and then varying the volumetric signal. ​ The result, inside the ECU, is a mass airflow calculation that ends up producing the right value.
