Mass Air Flow Meter -- Inspection |
1. INSPECT INTAKE MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
Check the output voltage.
Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2 (E2G).
- NOTICE:
- While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive (+) and negative (-) tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal 3 (VG) and the negative (-) tester probe to terminal 2 (E2G).
Blow air into the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly and check that the voltage fluctuates.
If the result is not as specified, replace the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.Text in Illustration *a Component without harness connected

Perform a visual check for any foreign matter on the platinum hot wire (heater) of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly shown in the illustration.
- OK:
- There is no foreign matter.
If the result is not as specified, replace the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.Text in Illustration *1 Platinum Hot Wire (Heater)
