- INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Perform a visual check for any foreign matter on the platinum hot wire (heater) and temperature sensor (thermistor) of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly shown in the illustration.
*a Platinum Hot Wire (Heater) *b Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) OK
There is no foreign matter.
If the result is not as specified, replace the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component without harness connected
