Circuit/System Verification

  1. Verify that the following DTCs are not set: P0641 or P0651.
  2. Verify that restrictions do not exist in the exhaust system. Refer to Restricted Exhaust .
  3. Engine running, observe the scan tool MAF Sensor parameter. The reading should be between 2,000-3,800 Hz depending on the ECT.
  4. A WOT acceleration from a stop should cause the MAF Sensor parameter on the scan tool to increase rapidly. This increase should be from 2-6 g/s at idle to greater than 180 g/s at the time of the 1-2 shift.
  5. Use the scan tool and compare the MAF Sensor parameter to a known good vehicle, under various operating conditions.
  6. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
