MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L ENGINE>

13B-142

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 10: 
Mass Airflow Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

10, Mass Airflow Sensor.

(4) Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature: 80

°C 

to 95

°C (176°F to 203°F).

• The standard value during idling should be between 

1,350 and 1,670 millivolts.

• When the engine is revved, the mass airflow rate should 

increase according to the increase in engine speed.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector A-07 at the mass airflow 
sensor and harness connector B-11 at the ECM for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector 

Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 3. Measure the power supply voltage at the mass 
airflow sensor harness side connector A-07.
(1) Disconnect the connector A-07 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 2 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) 

present?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair harness wire between the MFI relay connector 

A-33X (terminal No. 2) and the mass airflow sensor 
A-07 (terminal No. 2) because of open circuit or short 
circuit to ground. Then go to step 6.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit or short circuit to ground 
between the mass airflow sensor connector A-07 and ECM 
connector B-11.
(1) Disconnect the mass airflow sensor A-07 and the ECM 

connector B-11.

(2) Measure the resistance between the mass airflow sensor 

connector A-07 (terminal No. 3) and ECM connector B-11 
(terminal No. 87).

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

(3) Check for the continuity between the mass airflow sensor 

A-07 (terminal No. 3) and ground.

• Not continuity.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 5. Replace the mass airflow sensor.
(1) Replace the mass airflow sensor.
(2) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 22 

P.13B-11

.

(3) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0102 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles 

with KOS> 

P.42B-15

 or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis 

− ID 

Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with 
WCM> 

P.42C-10

. Then go to Step 6.

NO :  The inspection is complete.
