Airflow Meter

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect electrical connector from airflow meter. Note airflow meter terminal identification. See Fig 1 and Fig 2.
  2. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between specified terminals. See AIRFLOW METER RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table. Replace airflow meter if resistance is not within specification.
  3. Connect voltmeter leads to proper terminals on airflow meter with electrical connector installed. Apply air into airflow meter and note voltage reading.
  4. While air is being applied, voltage reading should fluctuate. Replace airflow meter if voltage reading was not obtained. Remove voltmeter.
