On-Vehicle Inspection [10/2022 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota Highlander, 2024 Toyota Highlander, and 2023 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Read the value of Data List item "Mass Air Flow Sensor" using the GTS.
      NOTE:

      Perform the inspection of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly while it is installed to the air cleaner cap sub-assembly (installed to the vehicle).

      1. Check and ensure the following conditions:
        1. Turn off all electrical loads, such as the air conditioning, etc.
        2. Check that the coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more.
        3. Put the shift lever in the N position.
      2. Start the engine.
      3. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List when the engine is running.

        Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

        Tester Display
        Mass Air Flow Sensor

        Standard Condition

        GTS Display Condition Specified Condition
        Mass Air Flow Sensor Idling (engine warmed up) 1.5 to 4.9 gm/sec
        3000 rpm (without load) 5 to 15 gm/sec

        If the result is not as specified, clean the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

        If the result is within the specified range, check the intake air temperature sensor (thermistor) resistance.

        Refer to INSPECTION [10/2022 - ] 

  2. CLEAN MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:

    If the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is removed and installed 10 times or more, the thread of the hole of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly may be damaged. Therefore, do not loosen the screws of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

    1. Remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
    2. Clean the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
      NOTE:
      • Do not contact the mass air flow meter sub-assembly with the nozzle of the air blow gun.
      • Do not insert the nozzle of the air blow gun into the airflow hole.

      *1 Mass Air Flow Meter Sub-assembly
      *a Air Blow Gun
      *b 10 mm (0.394 in.)
      *c Airflow Hole
      1. Using an air blow gun, clean the hole of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly by applying approximately 10 intermittent bursts of air to the airflow hole at a pressure of approximately 392 to 981 kPa (4.0 to 10.0 kgf/cm2 , 57 to 142 psi).

        HINT: 

        Apply 5 intermittent bursts of air to the airflow hole at 2 locations.

        *e Air Stopped
    3. Install the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
  3. PERFORM INITIALIZATION 
    1. Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [10/2022 - ]
