On-Vehicle Inspection [09/2022 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT INTAKE MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY (READ VALUE USING GTS) 
    NOTE:

    Perform the inspection of the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly while it is installed to the air cleaner assembly (installed to the vehicle).

    Pre-procedure1

    • Check and ensure the following conditions:
      1. Turn off all electrical loads, such as the air condition, etc.
      2. Check that the coolant temperature is 75 °C (167 °F) or more.
      3. 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.

      2000 rpm (without load) 5.0 to 25.0 gm/sec gm/sec
      MAF Sensor Bank 1
      MAF Sensor Bank 2
      3000 rpm (without load) 6.5 to 30.0 gm/sec gm/sec

    Post-procedure1

    • If the result is within the specified range, inspect the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

      HINT: 

      Refer to INSPECTION [09/2022 - ] 

    • 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.

  2. 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.

    Pre-procedure1

    • Remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
    • Clean the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

      *c Airflow Hole
      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. 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).

    Post-procedure1

    • Install the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
  3. PERFORM INITIALIZATION 
    1. Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the intake mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

      HINT: 

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2022 - 09/2024] , or refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2024 - ]
