	NO

Repair an open in the IG1 ACG/IG1(MAIN)/IG1(AFM) wire between the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the No. D21 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.?

4.

Determine possible failure area (VGP line, others):

Determine possible failure area (VGP line, others)

?1.	Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.

Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector: disconnected
Test point 1	MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 5:
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there about 170?210 k??


	YES

Go to step 7.


	NO

Go to step 5.

5.

Shorted wire check (VGP line):

Shorted wire check (VGP line)

?1.	Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

?2.

Disconnect the following connector.

PCM connector B (51P)

?3.

Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector: disconnected
	PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
Test point 1	MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 5:
Test point 2	Body ground

Is there continuity?


	YES

Repair a short in the VGP wire between the PCM (B32) and the MAF sensor/IAT sensor.?


	NO

The VGP wire is not shorted. Go to step 6.

6.

Open wire check (VGP line):

Open wire check (VGP line)

?1.

Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
	MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector: disconnected
	PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
Test point 1	MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 5:
Test point 2	PCM connector B (51P) No. 32

Is there continuity?


	YES

The VGP wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM.?


	NO

Repair an open in the VGP wire between the PCM (B32) and the MAF sensor/IAT sensor.?

7.

MAF sensor/IAT sensor check:

MAF sensor/IAT sensor check

?1.	Substitute a known-good MAF sensor/IAT sensor.

?2.	Reconnect all connectors.

?3.	Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?4.	Clear the DTC with the HDS.

?5.	Start the engine.

?6.	Hold the engine speed at 2,000 rpm without load (in P or N).

?7.

Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC
P0101 MAF Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem

Is DTC P0101 indicated?


	YES

The MAF sensor/IAT sensor is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM.?


	NO

Replace the original MAF sensor/IAT sensor.?

8.

Open wire check (VGM line):

Open wire check (VGM line)

?1.	Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.	Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

?3.

Disconnect the following connectors.

MAF sensor/IAT sensor 5P connector

PCM connector B (51P)

?4.
