Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM

    Check the following for connection.

    • Air duct
    • Vacuum hoses
    • Intake air passage between air duct and intake manifold

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 2  .

    NO 

    Reconnect the parts.

  2. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR POWER SUPPLY

    1. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between MAF sensor harness connector and ground.
