Mass Air Flow Sensor

Check voltage between ECM terminal 51 (Mass air flow sensor signal) and ground.

MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CONDITION AND VOLTAGE

Condition

Voltage V

Ignition switch ON (Engine stopped.)

Approx. 0.4

Idle (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.)

0.9 - 1.2

2,500 rpm (Engine is warmed-up to normal operating temperature.)

1.6 - 1.9

Idle to about 4,000 rpm⁽¹⁾

1.6 - 1.9 to Approx. 2.4

⁽¹⁾	Check for linear voltage rise in response to engine being increased to about 4,000 rpm.

If the voltage is out of specification, proceed the following.
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector and reconnect it again.
- Perform steps 2 and 3 again.
If NG, remove mass air flow sensor from air duct. Check hot wire for damage or dust.
If NG, clean or replace mass air flow sensor.
