Component Inspection

  1. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR-I

    With CONSULT-III 

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
    3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    4. Connect CONSULT-III and select "DATA MONITOR" mode.
    5. Select "MAS A/F SE-B1" and "MAS A/F SE-B2", and check the indication.

      Monitor item Condition Indication (V)
      MAS A/F SE-B1
      MAS A/F SE-B2      		 Ignition switch ON (Engine stopped.) Approx. 0.4
      Idle (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 0.9 - 1.2
