Inspection Procedure

HINT.

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MASS AIR FLOW RATE) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Turn the Techstream ON.
    4. Enter the following menus Powertrain / Engine / Data List / MAF
    5. Read the values displayed on the Techstream
      NOTE: During the test, do not use the exhaust air duct to perform suction on the exhaust pipe.

      Result 

      RESULT CHART

      Mass Air Flow Rate (g/sec.) Proceed to
      0.0 A
      0.62 or more B
      Between 0.0 and 0 62 C

    B: Go to step  6

    C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS  (See CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS )

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER (POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE) 
    1. Disconnect the mass air flow meter connector
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG)
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below

      Standard Voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      E29-3 (+B) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
    4. Reconnect the mass air flow meter connector

    NG: Go to step  5

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT ECM (VG VOLTAGE) 
    1. Start the engine
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      HINT

      The shift lever should be in P or N and the air conditioning switch should be turned off

      Standard Voltage

    NG: Go to step 4 

    OK: REPLACE ECM  (See REMOVAL )

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MASS AIR FLOW METER - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the mass air flow meter connector
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open) 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E29-5 (VG) - E3-25 (VG) Always Below 1 Ω
      E29-4 (E2G) - E3-24 (E2G) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short) 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E29-5 (VG) or E3-25 (VG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the mass air flow meter connector
    5. Reconnect the ECM connector

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW METER  (See REMOVAL )

  5. CHECK FUSE (EFI NO. 2 FUSE) 
    1. Remove the EFI No. 2 fuse from the engine room No. 2 relay block
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      EFI No. 2 fuse Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Reinstall the EFI No. 2 fuse.
