      1. Resistance: 
        1. At -20°C (-4°F) 13.6 to 18.4 kΩ 
        2. At 20°C (68°F) 2.21 to 2.69 kΩ 
        3. At 60°C (140°F) 0.49 to 0.67 kΩ 
      NOTE: If the resistance is not as specified, replace the intake air flow meter.
    2. Inspect the intake air flow meter operation.
      1. Connect the intake air flow meter connector.
      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      3. Using a voltmeter, connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal VG, and negative (-) tester probe to terminal E2G.
      4. Blow air into the intake air flow meter, and check that the voltage fluctuates.

  • 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.
