- Ignition OFF, disconnect the MAF/IAT harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal C and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
- If the MAF sensor circuits test normal, test the frequency output of the MAF sensor. Refer to Component Testing for instructions.
IMPORTANT:
All electrical components and accessories must be turned OFF and allowed to power down.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
