Inspection Procedure

  1. PROBLEM VERIFICATION
    1. Connect a Hi-Scan (Pro) to the data link connector.
    2. Start the engine and monitor the MAFS signals.
      1. Specification (MAFS signal voltage):

        0.6 ~ 1.0 V at idle

        1.7 ~ 2.0 V at 3000 rpm

    Is signal within specification?

    1. No:  Go to next step.
    2. Yes: Problem is intermittent or was repaired and ECM memory was not cleared. See INTERMITTENT PROBLEM INSPECTION PROCEDURE ..
  2. CHECK MAFS AND ECM CONNECTORS
