Air Flow Sensor Schematic

A faulty air flow sensor will set code 23 in the on-board diagnostic system. Refer to the schematic diagram and test the sensor with the diagnostic chart.
If an air flow sensor that is incorrect for the vehicle model is installed, code 49 will set (whether the sensor itself is faulty or not). Automatic
transmission models use a hot film type air flow sensor and manual transmission models use a hot wire type. These are not interchangeable.

R: Red
W: White
Br: Brown

Air Flow Sensor Testing

CHECK ECU VOLTAGE

1. With ignition "ON," measure voltage across ECU connector terminals and ground as follows:

Connector & terminal: Voltage:

(B48)8-Ground 10-13V (engine "OFF")

13-14V (engine at idle)
(B48)9-Ground 0-0.3V (engine "OFF")
0.8--1.2V (engine at idle)
(B48)10-Ground 0V (engine "OFF")
0V (engine at idle)

CHECK ECU HARNESS AND RESISTANCE

1. Disconnect ECU and air flow sensor connectors.

2. Measure resistance between ECU and air flow sensor connectors as follows:

Connector & terminal: Resistance:

(B48)8-(B1)1 0 Ohm
(B48)9-(B1)4 0 Ohm
(B48)10-(B1)2 0 Ohm

3. Measure resistance between air flow sensor connector and ground:

Connector & terminal: Resistance:

(B1)1-Ground 1M Ohms min.

(B1)4-Ground 1M Ohms min.
(B1)2-Ground 1M Ohms min.
(B1)3-Ground 0 Ohm
