With Manual Transaxle

Inspection Using the Special Service Tool (Engine Signal Monitor)
1. Check the mass air flow sensor for damage and cracks.

Special Service Tool (Engine Signal Monitor):




2. Connect the SST to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
3. Measure the voltage at PCM terminal 3B.
4. Verify that the voltage is within the specification.

Mass Air Flow Sensor Specifications:




5. If not as specified, inspect the harness and connector between the mass air flow sensor and the PCM terminal.
6. If there is correct terminal voltage and harness continuity, replace the mass air flow sensor.

Using the SST (NGS)
1. Check the mass air flow sensor for damage and cracks.

Special Service Tool New Generation Star Tester Connected to Data Link Connector 2:
