On-Vehicle Inspection [02/2024 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT INTAKE MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Read the value of Data List item "Mass Air Flow Sensor" using the GTS.NOTE:
Perform the inspection of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly while it is installed to the air cleaner cap sub-assembly (installed to the vehicle).
- Check and ensure the following conditions:
- Turn off all electrical loads, such as the air conditioning, etc.
- Check that the coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more.
- Put the shift lever in the N position.
- Start the engine.
- According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List when the engine is running.

Tester Display Mass Air Flow Sensor Standard Condition
GTS Display Condition Specified Condition Mass Air Flow Sensor Idling (engine warmed up) 1.5 to 4.9 gm/sec 3000 rpm (without load) 5 to 15 gm/sec If the result is not as specified, clean (air blow) the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
After cleaning (air blowing) the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly, perform an on-vehicle inspection of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly again and replace the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly if the result is not as specified.
If the result is within the specified range, inspect the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
Refer to INSPECTION [02/2024 - ]
- Check and ensure the following conditions:
- Read the value of Data List item "Mass Air Flow Sensor" using the GTS.
- CLEAN INTAKE MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY NOTE:
If the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly is removed and installed 10 times or more, the thread of the hole of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly may be damaged. Therefore, do not loosen the screws of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
- Remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
- Clean the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.NOTE:
- Do not contact the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly with the nozzle of the air blow gun.
- Do not insert the nozzle of the air blow gun into the airflow hole.
*1 Intake Mass Air Flow Meter Sub-assembly *a Air Blow Gun *b 10 mm (0.394 in.) *c Airflow Hole - Using an air blow gun, clean the hole of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly by applying approximately 10 intermittent bursts of air to the airflow hole at a pressure of approximately 392 to 981 kPa (4.0 to 10.0 kgf/cm 2
, 57 to 142 psi).
*a Air Blow Duration *b 3 to 6 Seconds *c 1 Second *d Air Blowing *e Air Stopped
- Install the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
- PERFORM INITIALIZATION
- Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
Refer to INITIALIZATION [02/2024 - ]
- Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
