Fault-Tracing






Fault tracing ECM-P011300

Checking the status




- Start the engine.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by reading the signal of the air temperature sensor. Check that the value is feasible.
If the value is not feasible, the fault is permanent. If the value is feasible, the fault is intermittent and not currently active.





Continue - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring








- Ignition off
- Disconnect the engine control module (ECM).
Check the signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check the signal cable with regard to open circuit.
Measure between control module terminal #A66 (#B6) and mass air flow sensor terminal #4.
Read the air temperature by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
Remedy as necessary.
