Checking Component and wiring
-- Disconnect the MAP / IAT sensor -G71 / G42- electrical harness connector -1-.
-- Using a multimeter, connect the positive lead to the MAP / IAT sensor -G71 / G42- harness connector terminal 2 and the negative lead to an engine ground.
Specified Value: 4.30 V To 4.90 V
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check the wiring for an open, high resistance or short to ground.
-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring or connection.
If voltage was not present and no malfunction is detected in the signal circuit:
-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair Information.
If the specified value was obtained:
-- Using a multimeter, connect the positive lead to Battery + and the negative lead to the MAP / IAT sensor -G71 / G42- harness connector terminal 1.
