Checking the mass air flow (MAF) sensor








- Engine running.
Check and compare the calculated air mass with the actual, read-out from mass air flow sensor.
Try measuring at different speeds (rpm).

Hint: Differences of more than 20 % between the signals indicate a defective mass air flow sensor.

Note! When replacing mass air flow sensor. Repeat the check to verify that the replacement solved the problem.

Remedy as necessary.
