SFI System: Inspection

  1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER 
    1. Check the output voltage.
      1. Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2 (E2G).
      2. Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal VG, and negative (-) tester probe to terminal E2G.
      3. Blow air in to the MAF meter, and check that the voltage fluctuates.
    2. Measure the resistance between terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).

    Standard:

  2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSY 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

    2. Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2. Check the movement of the valve.
