  1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M33 terminal 1 and ground.

      1 - Ground: Approx. 5V

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  2.

    NG: GO TO  4.

  2. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP  .
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
    3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M33 terminal 2 and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector M89 terminal 49.

      2 - 49: Continuity should exist  .

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  3.

    NG: Repair harness or connector.

  3. CHECK INTAKE SENSOR 

    Refer to "INTAKE SENSOR ".

    OK or NG 

    OK:

    1. Replace unified meter and A/C amp. Refer to "UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP ".
    2. Go to "FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE " and perform self-diagnosis STEP 2. Confirm that code No. 20 is displayed.

    NG:

    1. Replace intake sensor. Refer to "INTAKE SENSOR ".
    2. Go to "FUNCTION CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE " and perform self-diagnosis STEP 2. Confirm that code No. 20 is displayed.
  4. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP  .
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
    3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M33 terminal 1 and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector M89 terminal 41.

      1 - 41: Continuity should exist  .

    4. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M33 terminal 1 and ground.

      1 - Ground: Continuity should not exist  .
