Airflow Meter
NOTE:
Airflow meter may be referred to as Volume Airflow (VAF) meter or Mass Airflow (MAF) meter.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect electrical connector from airflow meter. Note airflow meter terminal identification. See Fig 1.
- Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between specified terminals. See the AIRFLOW METER RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. Replace airflow meter if resistance is not within specification.
- To check airflow meter operation, ensure electrical connector is installed on airflow meter. Connect voltmeter leads to proper terminals on airflow meter with electrical connector installed. See Fig 2.
- Turn ignition on. Apply air into airflow meter and note voltage reading. See Fig 2. While air is being applied, voltage reading should fluctuate. Replace airflow meter if voltage does not fluctuate. Remove voltmeter.
