Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2002 Pontiac Bonneville, 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2002 Chevrolet Impala, and 2002 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Inspect for the following conditions:
- A misrouted harness Inspect the harness of the MAF sensor in order to verify that the harness is not routed too close to the following components:
- The secondary ignition wires or coils.
- Any solenoids.
- Any relays.
- Any motors.
- A low minimum air rate through the sensor bore may cause this DTC to set at idle or during deceleration. Inspect for any vacuum leaks downstream of the MAF sensor.
- A Wide Open Throttle (WOT) acceleration from a stop should cause the MAF sensor g/s display on the scan tool to increase rapidly. This increase should be from 4-7 g/s at idle to 150 g/s or more at the time of the 1-2 shift. If the increase is not observed, inspect for a restriction in the induction system or the exhaust system.
- A resistance of 20 ohms or more on the ground circuit of the MAF sensor can cause this DTC to set.
If the problem is intermittent, See INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
