Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
YES
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
▶ Go to " Power Circuit Inspection " procedure.
■ Check voltage
IG "OFF" and Disconnect MAFS connector.
IG "ON" & ENG "OFF"
easure voltage between power terminal of MAFS harness connector and chassis ground
Specification : B+
Is the measured voltage within specification ?
YES
▶ Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection" Procedure.
NO
▶ Check fuse between MAFS and main relay is open or not installed.
▶ Repair open in power harness between MAFS and main relay and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
■ Check voltage
IG "OFF" and disconnect MAFS connector.
IG "ON" & ENG "OFF".
Measure voltage between signal terminal of MAFS harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification : Approx. 5V
Is the measured voltage within specification ?
YES
Go to " Ground circuit inspection" procedure.
NO
If the measured voltage is "0", go to "Check open in harness" as follows.
If the measured voltage is over "5V", go to " Check short to battery in harness" as follows.
■ Check short to battery in harness
IG "OFF" and disconnect MAFS and PCM connector.
Measure resistance between signal and power terminals of MAFS harness connector.
Measure resistance between signal terminal of MAFS harness connector and signal terminal of IATS harness connector.
Specification : Infinite

YES
Go to "Check short to ground in harness" as follows.
NO
Repair short to battery in harness and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
■ Check short to ground in harness
IG "OFF" and disconnect MAFS and PCM connector.
Measure resistance between signal terminal of MAFS harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification : Infinite
Is the measured resistance within specification ?
YES
Go to "Check open in harness" as follows.
NO
Repair short to ground in harness and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
■ Check open in harness
IG "OFF" and disconnect MAFS and PCM connector.
Measure resistance between signal terminal of MAFS harness connector and MAFS signal terminal of PCM harness connector.
Specification : Approx. below 1Ω.
Is the measured resistance within specification ?
YES
Go to "Ground circuit Inspection" procedure.
NO
Repair open in harness and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
■ Check open in harness
IG "OFF" and disconnect MAFS connector and then IG "ON".
Measure voltage between signal terminal of MAFS harness connector and chassis ground (Measurement "A")
Measure voltage between signal and ground terminals of MAFS harness connector (Measurement "B")
Specification : Voltage difference between Measurement "A" and "B" is below 200mV.
Is the measured voltage within specification ?
YES
▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
▶ Repair contact resistance or open in harnesss and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
