Diagnostic Procedures
1995 Chevrolet Camaro Base, 2D Coupe, 3.8 KSECTION Diagnostic Procedures
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. Read and record FREEZE FRAME and/or FAIL RECORDS data for each DTC set. Go to next step.
- Start engine. With engine at idle, use scan tool to read MAF FREQUENCY. If frequency is more than 10,500 Hz, go to step 4). If frequency is less than specified, go to next step.
- Turn engine off. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using scan tool, read and record FAIL RECORDS data. Operate vehicle within conditions noted in FAIL RECORDS data. Using scan tool, read SPECIFIC DTC. If scan tool displays DTC P0103 FAILED THIS IGN, go to next step. If scan tool does not display DTC P0103 FAILED THIS IGN, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector. Turn engine on and allow it to idle. Using scan tool, read MAF FREQUENCY. If frequency is zero Hz, go to next step. If frequency is not as specified, go to step 7).
- Check for faulty connection at MAF sensor. Repair connection as necessary and go to step 10). If connection is okay, go to next step.
- Replace MAF sensor and go to step 10).
