Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Remove the fuse that supplies B+ to circuit terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal E and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance, or for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Install the fuse that supplies B+ to circuit terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool IAT sensor parameter is at -40°C (-40°F).
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the engine control module (ECM).
- Ignition ON, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and ground circuit terminal C. Verify the IAT sensor parameter is warmer than 134°C (274°F).
- If colder than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
CAUTION:
Do NOT use a test lamp to test the continuity of the circuit. Damage to the control module may occur due to excessive current draw.
NOTE:
If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage and the sensor may be damaged.
