Component Testing
To determine if the ECM can properly process the MAF sensor frequency signal, connect the J 38522 to the vehicle as follows:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Connect the battery voltage supply and ground the black lead.
- Connect the red lead to the signal circuit of the MAF sensor.
- Set the duty cycle switch to Normal.
- Set the Frequency switch to 5 K.
- Set the signal switch to 5 volts.
- Start the engine, observe the MAF Sensor parameter for the correct range of 4,950-5,025 Hz.
- If the MAF Sensor parameter is not within the specified range, replace the ECM.
- If the MAF Sensor parameter is within the specified range, replace the MAF sensor.
