Circuit/System Testing

IMPORTANT: All electrical components and accessories must be turned OFF and allowed to power down.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal E and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
    • If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
    • If colder than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
