April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Resistance Inspection

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.
Measure the resistance between the MAF/IAT sensor terminals D and E using an ohmmeter.
- If the IAT sensor is okay, but the PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not as specified, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. (See INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
