Flow Too High - Permanent Fault






Flow too high. Permanent fault

Checking cables
Check the cable between engine control module (ECM) #A22 (#A22) and mass air flow (MAF) sensor #5 for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check the ground lead between #A58 (#A58) and mass air flow (MAF) sensor #3 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
Remedy as necessary

Other information:
- Connecting the breakout box/accessing the control module, see Connecting the breakout box, B5244T5, B5254T2 Connecting the Breakout Box.
- To access/replace the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, see the relevant service procedure.
- With the ignition on and the mass air flow (MAF) sensor connector connected the voltage at mass air flow (MAF) sensor #2 should be approximately Ubatt, mass air flow (MAF) sensor #3 should be ground and mass air flow (MAF) sensor #5 should be approximately 1 V.
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Description / Specification.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
- Check that the air flow is correct. The value must be approximately 0 kg/h with the engine switched off
- Start the engine. Read off the air flow. The value may vary by between 12-20 kg/h at idle speed, depending on the engine load and temperature. The value may be in excess of 20 kg/h if the engine is cold
- Increase the engine speed (RPM) and check that the air flow increases with increased engine speed.









Are the values correct?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED
