Intake air temperature sensor and fuel pump switch are contained in the airflow meter. Determine terminal identification. See Fig 1 .

Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between designated terminals. See AIRFLOW METER RESISTANCE table. Reading must be within specification.

Ensure measuring plate moves freely in airflow meter. Remaining terminals must be checked for fuel pump switch and measuring plate resistances. See Fig 1 . Attach ohmmeter to specified terminals to check fuel pump switch and measuring plate resistance. See FUEL PUMP SWITCH & PLATE RESISTANCE table.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• 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.
