DTC (PGM-FI)
- Problem verification 1
-1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and wait 2 seconds.
- 2. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.
Signal Threshold Current conditions Values Unit Values Unit MAF SENSOR Less than 0.1 V Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 3.
NO
Go to step 2.
- Problem verification 2
-1. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.
Signal Threshold Current conditions Values Unit Values Unit MAF SENSOR More than 4.99 V Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?
