Resistance Inspection

  1. Remove the battery cover.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF] ).
  3. Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.
  4. Verify that the resistance between MAF/IAT sensor terminals D and E is within the specification.
    • If the monitor item status/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though the IAT sensor resistance is within the specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
    • If not within the specification, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
