MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR INSPECTION [MZI 3.7 V6]
NOTE:
- The MAF sensor and IAT sensor cannot be removed as a single unit. When replacing the MAF sensor or IAT sensor, replace it together with the MAF/IAT sensor as a single unit.
Visual Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Removal and Replacement
2. Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor connector.
3. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor. Service and Repair
4. Verify the following items of the MAF sensor.
- Dirt, damage, cracks
- Rusted sensor terminal
- Bent sensor terminal
- If there is any malfunction, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. Service and Repair
Voltage Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Removal and Replacement
2. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor with the connector still connected.
3. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Removal and Replacement
4. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
5. Switch the ignition to ON.
6. Verify that the MAF sensor output voltage (PID: MAF) changes when wind is introduced gradually to the sensor part of the MAF sensor. On-Board Diagnostic Test
