MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR INSPECTION[ZJ, ZY, Z6]

id0140b1800700

Note

• Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the procedure as indicated in the troubleshooting flowchart. (See HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL.)

Visual inspection

1. Visually inspect the MAF sensor for the following:

• Damage, cracks

• Rusted sensor terminal

• Bent sensor terminal

― If there is any malfunction, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)

Voltage Inspection

1. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor without disconnecting the MAF/IAT sensor connector.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

3. As the air gradually approaches the MAF detection part of the MAF/IAT sensor, verify that the MAF sensor output voltage (M-MDS PID: MAF) varies.

• If it cannot be verified even though the related wiring harnesses have no malfunction, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)

Circuit Open/Short Inspection (Without Throttle Valve Actuator)

1. Remove the PCM connector cover.

2. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)

3. Inspect the following wiring harness for open or short circuit (continuity check).

Open circuit

• If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2BG

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 2BC

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 2AU

Short circuit

• If there is continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal A and power supply

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal A and body ground

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal B and power supply

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal C and power supply

― MAF/IAT sensor terminal C and body ground
