1 Check wiring from MAF sensor to DME control module for continuity.

1. Remove connector of MAF sensor.
2. Connect special tool 9616 to wiring harness (DME control module connector).
3. Connect ohmmeter to special tool 9616, pin 17, and MAF sensor connector, pin 5.
Display: 0 - 5 ohms

If Infinity ohm is displayed, check wiring harness for chafing and pinching damage.

2 Check wiring from MAF sensor to DME control module for short to ground.

1. Remove connector of MAF sensor.
2. Connect special tool 9616 to wiring harness (DME control module connector).
3. Connect ohmmeter to special tool 9616, pin 17, and to ground, pin 6.
Display: Infinity ohm

If 0 - 5 ohms is displayed, check wiring for chafing and pinching damage.

3 Check wiring from MAF sensor to DME control module for short to B+.

1. Remove connector of MAF sensor.
2. Connect special tool 9616 to wiring harness (DME control module connector).
3. Connect voltmeter to special tool 9616, pin 17 (B+), and to ground, pin 6.
4. Switch on the ignition.
5. Display: 0 V

If battery voltage is displayed, check wiring harness for chafing and pinching damage.
