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: 
                     
                        
Turn off all electrical loads, such as the air conditioning, etc.
Check that the coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more.
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

                           | 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. Click here

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.
