- Ignition on, engine not running.
- Record freeze frame data and clear DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for one minute.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK THE (K157) MAF SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the MAF Sensor harness connector.
