Resistance Inspection

  1. Disconnect the mass air flow sensor connector.
  2. Verify that the resistance between MAF sensor terminals D and E is within the specification.
    • If the monitor item status/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though the IAT sensor resistance is within the specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
    • If not within the specification, replace the MAF sensor.
