DTC Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM 

    Check the following items to see the installation condition and the connection condition of the joint.

    • Air duct
    • Vacuum hoses
    • Intake air passage between air duct and intake manifold

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 2.

    NO

    Reconnect or replace error-detected parts.

  2. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection E15. Refer to Ground Inspection in Inspection .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 3.

    NO

    Repair or replace ground connection.

  3. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between MAF sensor harness connector and ground.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness for open or short between mass air flow sensor and ECM

    Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK MAF SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between MAF sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.

    Check the EVAP control system pressure sensor. Refer to Component Inspection .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 9.

    NO

    Replace EVAP control system pressure sensor. Refer to Removal and Installation .

  9. CHECK MAF SENSOR 

    Check the MAF sensor. Refer to Component Inspection .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    Check intermittent incident. Refer to Inspection .
