MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR INSPECTION


BHE014013215W02

Note
• Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the troubleshooting flowchart. (See Troubleshooting Procedure.)

Visual Inspection

1. Visually inspect the MAF/IAT 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.)
– If the monitor item condition (reference) is not within the specification even though there is no malfunction, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Voltage Inspection

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

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.

3. As the air gradually approaches the MAF detection part of the MAF/IAT sensor, verify that the voltage at PCM terminal 5N (WDS PID: MAF) varies.

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

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1. Disconnect the PCM connector.

2. Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.

3. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short circuit. (Continuity inspection)

Open circuit

• If there is no continuity in the following wiring harnesses, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
– MAF/IAT sensor terminal A and main relay terminal C
– MAF/IAT sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 5U
– MAF/IAT sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 5N

Short circuit

• If there is continuity in the following wiring harnesses, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
– MAF/IAT sensor terminal A and body ground
– MAF/IAT sensor terminal C and power supply
– MAF/IAT sensor terminal C and body ground
