Monitor Description

If there is a defect in the MAF meter or an open or short circuit, the voltage level deviates from the normal operating range. The ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the MAF meter and stores a DTC.

Example: 

• When the sensor voltage output remains less than 0.2 V, or more than 4.9 V, for more than 3 seconds, the ECM stores a DTC.
• If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 3 seconds after the engine is next started.
