Resistance Inspection

Note
• Perform the following inspection only when directed.

1. Disconnect MAF/IAT sensor.

2. Measure the resistance between the MAF/IAT sensor terminals D and E using an ohmmeter.

• If not as specified, replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
• If the MAF/IAT sensor is okay, but the IAT PID are out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Specification

Ambient temperature (°C {°F})

Resistance (kilohm)

-20 {-4}
13.6-18.4
20 {68}
2.21-2.69
60 {140}
0.493-0.667

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L3].)

2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short. (Continuity check)

Open circuit

• If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the harness.
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D and PCM terminal 1AT
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal E and PCM terminal 1AR

Short circuit

• If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the harness.
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal E and power supply
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D and power supply
- MAF/IAT sensor terminal D and body GND
