Resistance Inspection

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.
  3. 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 ).
