Circuit/System Testing

  1. Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system including all turbocharger components by inspecting for the following conditions:
    • Any damaged components
    • Loose or improper installation
    • An air flow restriction
    • Vacuum leaks
    • A turbocharged air leak
    • Improperly routed vacuum hoses
    • In cold climates, inspect for any snow or ice buildup
    • Inspect the MAF sensor elements for contamination
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B MAF/IAT sensor.
  3. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  6. Ignition OFF, connect the red lead of the J 38522  to the signal circuit terminal A at the B75B MAF/IAT sensor harness connector. Connect the battery voltage supply to B+. Connect the black lead to ground.
  7. Set the J 38522  Signal switch to 5 V, the Frequency switch to 5K, and the Duty Cycle switch to Normal.
  8. Engine Idling, observe the scan tool MAF Sensor parameter. The scan tool MAF Sensor parameter should be between 4,950-5,050 Hz.
    • If the MAF Sensor parameter is not within the specified range, replace the K20 ECM.
  9. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B75B MAF/IAT sensor.
