  1. Disconnect MAF sensor connector. Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM, measure voltage between MAF sensor connector Blue/Black wire and ground. If battery voltage is indicated, go to next step. If battery voltage is not indicated, repair open or short circuit in Blue/Black wire between MAF sensor and main relay.
  2. Turn ignition off and remove ECM/PCM cover. Reconnect MAF sensor. Turn ignition on and measure voltage (backprobe) between ECM/PCM connector C51-3 terminals No. 20 (Grey/Yellow wire) and No. 23 (Violet/White wire). Voltage reading should be .5-1.0 volts. Start engine. At idle, voltage should read between 1.5-1.8 volts. Voltage should stay below 5 volts but increase as engine speed is increased. If test results are not as specified, go to DTC P0101: MASS AIRFLOW (MAF) CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE PROBLEM under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - GRAND VITARA article.
