DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 13:
Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

13, Intake Air Temperature Sensor.

• The intake air temperature and temperature shown with

the scan tool should approximately match.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-7

.

NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check connector A-01 at the intake air
temperature sensor for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 3. Check the intake air temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector

A-01.

(2) Measure the resistance between intake air temperature

sensor side connector terminal No. 5 and No. 6.

• There should be continuity. (0.30 − 20 kΩ)

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.30 and 20 k

Ω?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the volume airflow sensor. Then go to Step

11.

STEP 4. Measure the sensor supply voltage at intake air
temperature sensor harness side connector A-01.
(1) Disconnect the connector A-01 and measure at the harness

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 6 and ground.

• Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor supply voltage at PCM
connector C-90 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the PCM connector C-90.
(2) Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor connector

A-01.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 64 and ground

by backprobing.

• Voltage should be between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Check connector C-90 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Repair harness wire between intake air temperature

sensor connector A-01 (terminal No.6) and PCM
connector C-90 (terminal No. 64) because of open
circuit. Then go to Step 11.

NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.
