MASS AIR FLOW METER INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY

   1. Check the output voltage.

      1. 

         *a	Component without harness connected (Mass Air Flow Meter Sub-assembly)
         	Air

         Connect a battery positive (+) lead to terminal 1 (+B) and negative (-) lead to terminal 2 (E2G).

         Note:

         While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.

      2. Connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal 3 (VG) and negative (-) tester probe to terminal 2 (E2G).

      3. Blow air into the mass air flow meter sub-assembly and check that the voltage fluctuates.

         If the result is not as specified, replace the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

   2. 

      *a	Platinum Hot Wire (Heater)
      *b	Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)

      Perform a visual check for any foreign matter on the platinum hot wire (heater) and temperature sensor (thermistor) of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly shown in the illustration.

      OK

      There is no foreign matter.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

   3. 

      *a	Component without harness connected (Mass Air Flow Meter Sub-assembly)

      Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
      4 (THA) - 5 (E2)	-20°C (-4°F)	12.5 to 16.9 kΩ
      	20°C (68°F)	2.19 to 2.67 kΩ
      	60°C (140°F)	0.50 to 0.68 kΩ

      If the result is not as specified, replace the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
