Diagnostic Procedures
- Perform diagnostic system check. See POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing diagnostic system check, go to next step.
- Start engine. With throttle closed, select MAF sensor parameter on scan tool. If MAF parameter is greater than 2.5-4.6 grams/second, go to step 4 . If MAF parameter is not greater than 2.5-4.6 grams/second, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on, with engine off. Using scan tool, clear DTC information function. Operate vehicle within FREEZE FRAME conditions. If DTC resets, go to next step. If DTC does not reset, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Operate engine at idle. Using a DVOM, backprobe MAF sensor harness connector terminal No. 1 (Purple/White wire). See Figure . If voltage reading is 1.5-1.8 volts, go to next step. If voltage reading is not 1.5-1.8 volts, go to step 6 .
- Leave DVOM connected. Check voltage while briefly increasing engine speed to about 4000 RPM. If voltage increases to about 3.0 volts, go to step 10 . If voltage does not increase to about 3.0 volts, go to step 11 .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector. Using a test light connected to ground, probe MAF sensor harness connector terminal No. 2 (Gray/Yellow wire). See Figure . If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 8 .
- Check for faulty connection at MAF sensor and at PCM. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 12 . If connections are okay, go to step 9 .
- Repair open in Gray/Yellow wire between MAF sensor and PCM. After repairs, go to step 12 .
- Check for short in Purple/White wire between MAF sensor and PCM. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 12 . If circuit is okay, go to step 11 .
- Turn ignition off. Replace PCM. Perform PCM relearn procedure. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE under PROGRAMMING. After replacing PCM, go to next step.
- Replace MAF sensor. After replacing sensor, go to next step.
- After repairs, clear DTCs. Operate vehicle within FREEZE FRAME conditions that set DTC. Check for DTCs. If no DTCs are stored, repair is complete. If any DTCs are stored, diagnose affected DTCs. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS .
NOTE:
MAF sensor readings vary with air temperature and barometric pressure. Specifications are with temperature at 68°F (20°C) and at sea level.
