Checking Mass Air Flow Sensor
- Ignition ON.
- Connect a voltmeter between mass air flow (MAF) sensor connector terminals 2 and 4.
- The voltmeter should read 0.1 - 0.2 Volts.

If reading is OK:
^ Proceed to: Checking for Air Leakage in the Intake System section below.

If reading is incorrect:
^ Try a new mass air flow sensor.





Checking for Air Leakage in the Intake System
- Check for air leakage.
- Check for air leaks in the intake system.
- Is there any air leakage?

No:
^ Proceed to: Checking for Air Leakage in the Exhaust System section below.

Yes:
^ Remedy as necessary.
^ Continue by erasing diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and resetting long-term fuel trim.
