6. INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CHECK
1. Disconnect the air flow sensor connector.
2. Measure resistance between terminals 5 and 6.
Standard value:
2.3 – 3.0 kΩ (at 20C)
0.30 – 0.42 kΩ (at 80C)
3. Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair
drier.
Normal condition:
Temperature (C)Resistance (kΩ)
HigherSmaller
4. If the value deviates from the standard value or the
resistance remains unchanged, replace the air flow sensor
assembly.
7. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR CHECK
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located as shown
on the left.
Standard value:
2.1 – 2.7 kΩ (at 20C)
0.26 – 0.36 kΩ (at 80C)
8. OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK
The sensor connector is located as shown on the left.
(1) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool (Test Harness: MD998464) to the oxygen
sensor connector.

(2) Check that there is continuity (11 to 18 Ω at 20C) across
terminal no. 1 (special tool red clip) and terminal no. 3
(special tool blue clip) of the oxygen sensor connector.
(3) If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
(4) Run the engine until the engine coolant temperature
exceeds 80C.
(5) Using jumper wires, connect oxygen sensor terminal no.
1 (special tool red clip) and terminal no. 3 (special tool
blue clip) to battery (+) and (–) terminal, respectively.
Caution
Make sure of the correct connections: if a wrong
connection is made, a broken oxygen sensor results.
(6) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal no. 2 (special
tool black clip) and terminal no. 4 (special tool white clip).
(7) Race the engine repeatedly to measure the oxygen sensor
output voltage.
Standard value:
EngineOxygen sensor
output voltageNOTE
When
engine is
raced0.6 – 1.0 VWhen engine racing is
repeated to enrich air-fuel
ratio, an operational oxygen
sensor should output a volt-
age of 0.6 to 1.0 V.
NOTE
Use the same procedures to remove and install the oxygen
sensor.
