Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Section 637 (Engine Control System (SFI) (2AZ-FE)): Inspection
- INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER
- Check the output voltage.
- Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2 (E2G).
- Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal VG, and negative (-) tester probe to terminal E2G.
- Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the voltage fluctuates.
- Measure the resistance between terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).
Standard:
MASS AIR FLOW METER TERMINALS RESISTANCE CHARTCondition Specified Condition -20°C (-4°F) 13.6 to 18.4 kΩ 20°C (68°F) 2.21 to 2.69 kΩ 60°C (140°F) 0.493 to 0.667 kΩ If the result is not as specified, replace the MAF meter.
- Check the output voltage.
- INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSY
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard: 6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
If the result is not as specified, replace the OCV assy.
- Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve.NOTE: Confirm that the valve moves freely and does not become stuck in any position.
If necessary, replace the OCV assy.
HINT:
If the valve cannot return properly because of foreign matter, a small pressure leak in the advanced direction may occur and a DTC will be output.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.
- INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSY
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard:
ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSY RESISTANCE REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONSTester Connection Specified Condition 2 (VPA2) - 3 (EP1) 5.0 kΩ or less 5 (VPA1) - 1 (EP2) 5.0 kΩ or less 6 (VCP1) - 3 (EP1) 2.25 to 4.75 kΩ 4 (VCP2) - 1 (EP2) 2.25 to 4.75 kΩ If the result is not as specified, replace the pedal assy.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.
- INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSY
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard:
THROTTLE BODY ASSY RESISTANCE REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONSTester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2 (M+) - 1 (M-) 20°C (68°F) 0.3 to 100 Ω 5 (VC) - 3 (E2) 20°C (68°F) 1.2 to 3.2 kΩ If the result is not as specified, replace the throttle body assy.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.
- INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
Standard:
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR TERMINALS RESISTANCE CHARTCondition Specified Condition Approx. 20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ Approx. 80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ If the result is not as specified, replace the sensor.
NOTE: If checking the engine coolant temperature sensor in the water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.
- Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.

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.
