Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 min, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal E and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal D and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the MAF signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the MAF signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the MAF signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the red lead of the J 38522 to the MAF signal circuit terminal C at the MAF/IAT sensor harness connector. Connect the battery voltage supply to B+, and the black lead to ground.
- Set the J 38522 signal to 5 V, the Frequency to 5K, and the Duty Cycle to Normal.
- Engine idling, observe the scan tool MAF Sensor parameter. The reading should be between 4,950-5,050 Hz.
- If not within the specified range, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
