Fault-Tracing Information
Fault-tracing
Checking the status
- Ignition on
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by reading off the mass air flow (MAF) sensor signal. Check that the signal is approximately 5-6 g/s with the engine idling at operating temperature.
Continue - Checking components and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking components and wiring
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the engine control module (ECM).
Check the signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check the signal cable with regard to open circuit.
Take readings between control module terminal #A70 (#B10) and mass air flow (MAF) sensor terminal #3.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start and run the engine to operating temperature.
Read off the mass air flow (MAF) sensor signal by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol. Check that the signal is approximately 5-6 g/s with the engine idling at operating temperature.
Check that the signal from the mass air flow (MAF) sensor is correct.
Is the signal correct?
