DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools
MB991502: Scan Tool(MUT-II)
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991502, check data list item 12: Volume Air Flow Sensor.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
1. Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
2. Start the engine and run at idle.
3. Set scan tool MB991502 to the data reading mode for item 12, Volume Air Flow Sensor.
4. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature: 80 °C to 96 °C (176 °F to 205 °F).
- When idling, between 17 and 46 Hz (between 2.2 and 5.7 g/s).
- When 2,500 r/min, between 63 and 103 Hz (between 9.0 and 14.7 g/s).
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Refer to DTC P0101 - Volume Air Flow Circuit Range/Performance Problem, DTC P0102 - Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input, DTC P0103 - Volume Air Flow Circuit High Input.
