    OK or NG 

    1. OK (With CONSULT-II): GO TO 7.
    2. OK (Without CONSULT-II): GO TO  8.
    3. NG: Check connectors for rusted terminals or loose connections in the mass air flow sensor circuit or ground. Refer to "DTC P0101 MAF SENSOR ".
  7. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine.
    2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  10.
    2. NG: Perform trouble diagnosis for FUEL INJECTOR, "FUEL INJECTOR ".
  8. CHECK FUNCTION OF FUEL INJECTOR-I 

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Stop engine.
    2. Disconnect harness connector F33, F221
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
