5		No	Go to the next step.
6	VERIFY PID DATA FOR IAT SENSOR MALFUNCTION Connect the M-MDS to DLC-2. Access the IAT PID using the M-MDS. Verify the IAT value when disconnecting the MAF/IAT sensor connector. Is the IAT value normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Replace the MAF/IAT sensor, then go to Step 8. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5] .)
7	INSPECT IAT SENSOR SIGNAL AND GROUND CIRCUITS FOR SHORT EACH OTHER Inspect for continuity between MAF/IAT sensor terminals D and E (wiring harness-side) Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a short, then go to the next step.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. Perform the KOEO/KOER self test (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [L5] .) Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5] .)
8		No	Go to the next step.
