Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions

Control Module References

1. Engine » Idling — At normal operating temperature
2. Verify the scan tool parameter:MAF Sensor=2.5 to 5.5 g/s
• If not between 2.5 and 5.5 g/s

  Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

• If between 2.5 and 5.5 g/s
3. Monitor the scan tool parameter:MAF Sensor

   Perform the following steps:

1. Engine idling.
2. Increase the engine speed slowly to 3 000 RPM and then back to idle.
3. Review Stored Data
4. While reviewing the data frame by frame, the parameter should change smoothly and gradually as the engine speed was increased and decreased.
• If the value does not change smoothly and gradually

  Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

• If the value changes smoothly and gradually
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
5. Verify the DTC does not set.
• If the DTC sets

  Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

• If the DTC does not set
6. All OK.

Note: It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems » Off
2. Disconnect the electrical connector:B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor
