Checking Components And Wiring

Check the mass air flow (MAF) sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

Check for air leakage in the intake system and for damage to hoses etc.

Check the inside of the throttle body (TB). Check for contamination. When the throttle body (TB) is contaminated, the air flow to the engine is impaired and diagnostic trouble code (DTCs) or fault symptoms can occur.

Clean the throttle body (TB) if needed.

Check the power supply cable between system relay terminal #5 and mass air flow (MAF) sensor terminal #2. Check for an open-circuit.

Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A22 (#A22) and mass air flow (MAF) sensor terminal #5. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Check the power supply cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A39 (#A39) and mass air flow (MAF) sensor terminal #4. Check for an open-circuit.

HINT: With the ignition on and the mass air flow (MAF) sensor connector connected the voltage at mass air flow (MAF) sensor terminal #2 must be approximately U  bat. 

Remedy as necessary.
