CHECK THE FUSED ASD (F343) RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (F343) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit at the MAF harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Is the test light illuminated and bright?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 7
  No
  - Repair the Fused ASD (F343) Relay Output circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE (Z908) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE BY LOAD TESTING THE CIRCUIT
NOTE:
Read the CIRCUIT LOAD TESTING PROCEDURE for information on building a simple load test tool and for additional load testing information and alternative methods of load testing or voltage drop testing a circuit. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING PROCEDURES .

Turn the ignition off.
1. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
2. Load test the (Z908) Ground circuit at the MAF/Intake Air Sensor harness connector. Note: refer to the diagram below.
3. NOTE:
  The bulb on the load test tool should be illuminated and bright if there is no resistance in the circuitry. Compare the brightness of the bulb in the load test tool to that of a direct connection across Battery.
  
  Is the load test bulb illuminated and bright?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 8
  No
  - Repair the (Z908) Sensor Ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE ABILITY OF THE PCM TO MONITOR THE MAF/INTAKE AIR SENSOR FOR PROPER OPERATION
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool check for PCM DTCs.
  NOTE:
  The DTC - P0103-00 MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH should display as active or pending with the MAF/Intake Air Sensor harness connector disconnected.
5. While monitoring the scan tool, connect a jumper between the MAF Sensor (K142) Signal circuit and the Sensor (K757) Ground circuit in the MAF/Intake harness connector.
  NOTE:
  With the jumper in place the scan tool should display DTC- P0102-00 MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW.
  
  Does the scan tool display as described above?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the MAF/Intake Air Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 9
CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
