CHECK MAF SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Check harness continuity between MAF sensor terminal 4 and ECM terminal 51.
  Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
  1. Continuity should exist.
2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 8.
2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 9.
2. NG: Replace intake air temperature sensor.
CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR
Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 10.
2. NG: Replace EVAP control system pressure sensor.
CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 11.
2. NG: Replace mass air flow sensor.
CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
