MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR INSPECTION [MZI-3.7]

id0140c3800700

Note

•  The MAF sensor and IAT sensor cannot be removed as a single unit. When replacing the MAF sensor or IAT sensor, replace it together with the MAF/IAT sensor as a single unit.

Visual Inspection

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)

2.  Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.

3.  Remove the MAF/IAT sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)

4.  Verify the following items of the MAF sensor.

•  Dirt, damage, cracks

•  Rusted sensor terminal

•  Bent sensor terminal

―  If there is any malfunction, replace the MAF sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)

Voltage Inspection

1.  Remove the MAF sensor with the connector still connected. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)

2.  Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.

3.  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

4.  Verify that the MAF sensor output voltage (PID: MAF) changes when wind is introduced gradually to the sensor part of the MAF sensor. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [MZI-3.7].)

•  If it cannot be verified, replace the MAF sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)
