(a) Read the value of Data List item "Mass Air Flow Sensor" using the Techstream.

NOTICE:

Perform the inspection of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly while it is installed to the air cleaner cap sub-assembly (installed to the vehicle).

(1) Check and ensure the following conditions:

  1. Turn off all electrical loads, such as the air conditioning, etc.
  2. Check that the coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more.
  3. Put the shift lever in the N position.

(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(3) Start the engine.

(4) Turn the Techstream on.

(5) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Mass Air Flow Sensor.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List

Tester Display

Mass Air Flow Sensor

(6) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List when the engine is running.

Standard Condition:

Techstream Display

Condition

Specified Condition

Mass Air Flow Sensor

Idling (engine warmed up)

2.6 to 3.7 gm/sec

2000 rpm (without load)

5.4 to 9.6 gm/sec

3000 rpm (without load)

10.6 to 15.8 gm/sec

If the result is not as specified, clean the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

If the result is within the specified range, check the intake air temperature sensor (thermistor) resistance.

2. CLEAN MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE:

If the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is removed and installed 10 times or more, the thread of the hole of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly may be damaged. Therefore, do not loosen the screws of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

(a) Remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.

(b) Clean the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

NOTICE:

  • Do not contact the mass air flow meter sub-assembly with the nozzle of the air blow gun.
  • Do not insert the nozzle of the air blow gun into the airflow hole.

Airflow Hole

(1) Using an air blow gun, clean the hole of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly by applying approximately 10 intermittent bursts of air to the airflow hole at a pressure of approximately 392 to 981 kPa (4.0 to 10.0 kgf/cm2, 57 to 142 psi).

HINT:

Apply 5 intermittent bursts of air to the airflow hole at 2 locations.
