Pinpoint Test VAF - Vane Airflow Meter: 1.6L
- Turn ignition off. Install BOB. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between VAF and SIGRTN pins while moving vane in VAF meter. Voltage should be as specified in VAF METER VOLTAGE table. If voltage is not as specified, go to step 3). If voltage is as specified, go to next step.
- Measure voltage between VMREF and SIGRTN test pins. If voltage is 7-9 volts, circuit is okay; return to QUICK TESTS if sent here from there. If not sent here from QUICK TESTS, replace ECA. If voltage is not as specified, repair VMREF wire to VAF.
- Unplug connector from VAF meter. Using jumper wires, connect VPWR, VMREF, and SIGRTN terminals on VAF connector to corresponding terminals on VAF meter. Leave VAF wire disconnected. Measure voltage between VAF and SIGRTN pins on harness connector while moving vane in VAF meter. Voltage should be as specified in VAF METER VOLTAGE
table. If voltage is okay, repair VAF wire to ECA. If voltage is not okay, go to next step.

- Unplug connector from VAF. Using jumper wires, connect VPWR and SIGRTN terminals on VAF connector to corresponding terminals on VAF meter. Leave VAF and VMREF wires disconnected. Measure voltage between VAF terminal at VAF meter, and SIGRTN pin at harness connector while moving vane in VAF meter. Voltage should be as specified in VAF METER VOLTAGE
table. If voltage is okay, repair VMREF wire to ECA. If voltage is not okay, go to next step.
- Unplug connector from VAF meter. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between SIGRTN and VPWR wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, replace VAF meter. If voltage is not more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Unplug VAF meter connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between VAF meter VPWR wire and ground. If voltage is more than 10 volts, repair VAF wire to ECA. If voltage is not more than 10 volts, go to PINPOINT TEST VPWR.
