1999 Chevrolet Cutaway 7.4 JSECTION Diagnostic Procedures
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD system check, go to next step.
- Install scan tool. Start engine. With engine at idle, monitor MAF sensor frequency on scan tool. If MAF sensor frequency is greater than 13,500 Hz, go to step 4. If MAF sensor frequency is not as specified, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on, with engine off. Using scan tool, review and record FAILURE RECORDS data. Operate vehicle within FAILURE RECORDS conditions and as close to conditions required to duplicate DTC. See CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION . Using scan tool, monitor SPECIFIC DTC for this DTC. If scan tool indicates that this DTC FAILED THIS IGN, go to next step. If scan tool does not indicate that this DTC FAILED THIS IGN, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor connector. Start and operate engine at idle. Using scan tool, monitor MAF sensor frequency. If scan tool displays a MAF sensor frequency, go to step 7. If scan tool does not display a MAF sensor frequency, go to next step.
- Check for poor connection at MAF sensor. Repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 10. If connection is okay, go to next step.
- Replace MAF sensor. After repairs, go to step 10.
