Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR-I

    G-20 WITH CONSULT

    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 and select "DATA MONITOR" mode.
    5. Select "MAS A/F SE-B1", and check the indication.
      Monitor item Condition Indication (V)
      MAS A/F SE-B1 Ignition switch ON (Engine stopped.) Approx. 0.4
      Idle (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 0.7 - 1.2
      2, 500 rpm (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 1.4 - 1.9
      Idle to about 4, 000 rpm 0.7 - 1.2 to Approx. 2.4*

      * : Check for linear voltage rise in response to engine being increased to about 4, 000 rpm.

    G-21 WITHOUT CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
    3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    4. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals under the following conditions.
      ECM Condition Voltage (V)
      Connector + -
      Terminal Terminal
      F91 37
      [MAF sensor signal]      		 42 Ignition switch ON (Engine stopped.) Approx. 0.4
      Idle (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 0.7 - 1.2
      2, 500 rpm (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 1.4 - 1.9
      Idle to about 4, 000 rpm 0.7 - 1.2 to Approx. 2.4*

      * : Check for linear voltage rise in response to engine being increased to about 4, 000 rpm.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    INSPECTION END

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 2  .

  2. CHECK FOR THE CAUSE OF UNEVEN AIR FLOW THROUGH MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check for the cause of uneven air flow through mass air flow sensor. Refer to the following.
      • Crushed air ducts
      • Malfunctioning seal of air cleaner element
      • Uneven dirt of air cleaner element
      • Intake valve deposits
      • Improper specification of intake air system parts

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 4  .

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 3  .

  3. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR-II

    G-20 WITH CONSULT

    1. Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
    2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    3. Connect CONSULT and select "DATA MONITOR" mode.
    4. Select "MAS A/F SE-B1", and check the indication.
      Monitor item Condition Indication (V)
      MAS A/F SE-B1 Ignition switch ON (Engine stopped.) Approx. 0.4
      Idle (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 0.7 - 1.2
      2, 500 rpm (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 1.4 - 1.9
      Idle to about 4, 000 rpm 0.7 - 1.2 to Approx. 2.4*

      * : Check for linear voltage rise in response to engine being increased to about 4, 000 rpm.

    G-21 WITHOUT CONSULT

    1. Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
    2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    3. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals under the following conditions.
      ECM Condition Voltage (V)
      Connector + -
      Terminal Terminal
      F91 37
      [MAF sensor signal]      		 42 Ignition switch ON (Engine stopped.) Approx. 0.4
      Idle (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 0.7 - 1.2
      2, 500 rpm (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.) 1.4 - 1.9
      Idle to about 4, 000 rpm 0.7 - 1.2 to Approx. 2.4*

      * : Check for linear voltage rise in response to engine being increased to about 4, 000 rpm.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    INSPECTION END

    NO 

    GO TO STEP 4  .

  4. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR-III
