Inspection Procedure

NOTE:

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

  1. READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL(MASS AIR FLOW RATE) 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Push the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool main switch ON.
    4. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / MAF" and read its value displayed on the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool.

      Result: 

      DESCRIPTION

      Air Flow Rate (gm/s) Proceed to
      0.0 A
      271.0 or more B
      Between 1.0 and 270.0 (1) C
      (1) The value must be changed when the throttle valve is opened or closed.
    1. B: Go to step   f 
    2. C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (See  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS  ) 
    3. A: Go to next step. 
  2. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR(POWER SOURCE) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    2. Disconnect the M1 mass air flow sensor connector.
    3. Measure the voltage between the terminal of the wire harness side connector and body ground.

      Standard:

    1. NG: Go to step   5 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  3. INSPECT ECM (VG VOLTAGE) 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E4 ECM connector.
      NOTE:

      The shift position should be P or N and the A/C switch should be turned OFF.

      Standard:
