Diagnosis & Repair
- Connect scan tester to DLC-3. See Figure. Turn ignition on. Turn on scan tester. Monitor IAT sensor temperature. If temperature displayed is same as outside temperature, inspect component and ECM connections. Problem is intermittent.
- If temperature displayed is 284°F (140°C), go to step 5. If temperature displayed is -40°F (-40°C), turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector. Using jumper wire, connect MAF harness connector terminals No. 3 and 4. See Figure. Turn ignition on. Monitor IAT sensor temperature on scan tester.
- If temperature displayed is 284°F (140°C), replace MAF sensor and retest. If temperature displayed is NOT 284°F (140°C), turn ignition off. Remove jumper wire. Access ECM behind glove box. Connect jumper wire between ECM connector "E7" terminal No. 22 (E2) and No. 21 (THA). See Figure.
- If temperature displayed on scan tester is 284°F (140°C) or more, inspect and repair circuits between MAF harness connector and ECM. See wiring diagram in the WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If temperature displayed on scan tester is NOT 284°F (140°C) or more, replace ECM and retest.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector. Turn ignition on. If temperature displayed on scan tester is -40°F (-40°C), replace MAF sensor and retest. If temperature displayed is NOT -40°F (-40°C), turn ignition off.
- Access ECM behind glove box. Disconnect ECM harness connector "E7". See Figure. Turn ignition on. If temperature displayed is -40°F (-40°C), inspect and repair circuits between MAF sensor and ECM for short. See wiring diagram in the WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If temperature displayed by scan tester is NOT -40°F (-40°C), replace ECM and retest.
