Resistance Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor.
Measure the resistance between the MAF/IAT sensor terminals D and E using a tester.
- If not as specified, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. (See INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- If the MAF/IAT sensor is normal, but the PID is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
