NOTICE:
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) Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal 3 (VG) and the negative (-) tester probe to terminal 2 (E2G).

(3) Blow air into the mass air flow meter and check that the voltage fluctuates.

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

(b) Perform a visual check for any foreign matter on the platinum hot wire (heater) of the mass air flow meter shown in the illustration.





OK:

There is no foreign matter.
