Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Testing and Inspection

2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: MASS AIR FLOW METER: INSPECTION

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT OUTPUT VOLTAGE





(a) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2 (E2G).
(b) Connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal 3 (VG), and the negative (-) tester probe to terminal 2 (E2G).
(c) Blow air into the MAF meter, and check if the voltage fluctuates.
2. INSPECT RESISTANCE
(a) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).
Resistance:
12.5 to 16.9 kOhms at -20°C (-4°F)
2.19 to 2.67 kOhms at 20°C (68°F)
0.50 to 0.68 kOhms at 60°C (140°F)
3. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER





(a) If using a Techstream:
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(4) Turn the tester ON.
(5) Enter the following menus:
Select: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAF.
(6) Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the air flow value of the CURRENT DATA changes.
If operation is not as specified, check the MAF meter as well as the wiring and the ECM.





(b) If not using a Techstream:
(1) Turn the Techstream to the ON position.
(2) Connect the positive tester probe of the voltmeter to terminal VG of the ECM and the negative tester probe of the voltmeter to terminal E2G of the ECM.
(3) Blow air into the air flow meter, and check if the voltage fluctuates.
If operation is not as specified, check the MAF meter, the wiring and the ECM.
