   1. Continuity should exist. 
7. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE ".
2. Install fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE CHECK ".
   1. At idling: 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm ²  , 51 psi) 

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO  6.
2. NG: GO TO 5.

Check the following.

• Fuel pump and circuit (Refer to "DTC P1220 FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (FPCM) ", "FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT ".)
• Fuel pressure regulator (Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE CHECK ".)
  1. Repair or replace.

With CONSULT-II 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check "MASS AIR FLOW" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.
   1. 3.8 - 5.2 g.m/sec: at idling 
   2. 16.0 - 21.5 g.m/sec: at 2, 500 rpm 

With GST 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check mass air flow sensor signal in "Service $01" with GST.
   1. 3.8 - 5.2 g.m/sec: at idling 
   2. 16.0 - 21.5 g.m/sec: at 2, 500 rpm 

OK or NG 

1. OK (With CONSULT-II): GO TO 7.
2. OK (Without CONSULT-II): GO TO  8.
3. NG: Check connectors for rusted terminals or loose connections in the mass air flow sensor circuit or grounds. Refer to "DTC P0101 MAF SENSOR ".

With CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine.
2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO  10.
2. NG: Perform trouble diagnosis for "INJECTOR CIRCUIT ".

Without CONSULT-II 

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect harness connectors F21, F201 (bank 1) and F41, F221 (bank 2).
