Diagnosis & Repair

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. See Figure. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, monitor IAT sensor temperature. If temperature displayed is same as actual intake air temperature, check IAT sensor and ECM connections. Problem is intermittent.
  2. If temperature displayed is 284°F (140°C) or more, go to step 5). If temperature displayed is -40°F (-40°C), turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor connector. Connect a jumper wire between terminals No. 1 (Blue/Yellow wire) and No. 2 (Brown wire) at MAF sensor harness connector. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, monitor IAT sensor temperature.
  3. If temperature displayed is 284°F (140°C) or more, replace MAF sensor and retest system. If temperature displayed is less than 284°F (140°C), turn ignition off. Remove jumper wire. Access ECM behind glove box. Connect jumper wire between terminals No. 21 (Blue/Yellow wire) and No. 22 (Brown wire) at ECM E9 connector. See Figure.
  4. If temperature displayed on scan tool is 284°F (140°C) or more, check and repair wiring harness between MAF harness connector and ECM. If temperature displayed on scan tool is not 284°F (140°C) or more, replace ECM and retest system.
  5. Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor connector. Turn ignition on. If temperature displayed on scan tool is -40°F (-40°C), replace MAF sensor and retest system. If temperature displayed is not -40°F (-40°C), turn ignition off and go to next step.
  6. Access ECM behind glove box. Disconnect ECM E9 connector. Turn ignition on. If temperature displayed is -40°F (-40°C), locate and repair short circuit in wiring harness between MAF sensor and ECM. If temperature displayed by scan tool is not -40°F (-40°C), replace ECM and retest system.
