INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was
running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air±fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other
data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
1 Connect hand±held tester, and read value of mass air flow rate.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) Start the engine.
(d) When using hand±held tester, enter the following menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA
LIST / ALL / MAF.
CHECK:
Read the mass air flow rate on the hand±held tester.

(b) Voltage output of the mass air flow meter is less than 1.0 V.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) meter helps the ECM calculate the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve.
The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and provide a proper air fuel ratio. Inside
the MAF meter, there is a heated platinum wire exposed to the flow of intake air. By applying a specific current
to the wire, the ECM heats this wire to a given temperature. The flow of incoming air cools the wire and an
internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the volt-
age applied to these components in the MAF meter. The voltage level is proportional to the air flow through
the MAF meter. The ECM interprets this voltage as the intake air amount. If there is a defect in the MAF meter
or an open or short circuit, the voltage level will deviate outside the normal operating range. The ECM inter-
prets this deviation as a defect in the MAF meter and sets a DTC.
Example:
If the voltage is more than 2.2 V at idle or less than 1.0 V at idle OFF, the ECM interprets this as a defect
in the MAF meter and sets a DTC.

DTC P0110 Intake Air Temperature Circuit
DTC P0112 Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input
DTC P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, mounted on the mass
air flow (MAF) meter, monitors the intake air temperature. The
IAT sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending
on the temperature of the intake air. When the air temperature
is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the tem-
perature is high, the resistance drops. The resistance varies as
voltage changes to the ECM terminal.
(See Fig. 1).
The intake air temperature sensor is connected to the ECM
(See below ). The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is ap-
plied to the intake air temperature sensor from terminal THA
(THAR) via resistor R.
That is, the resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are
connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air
temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the
intake air temperature, the voltage at terminal THA (THAR) also
changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel in-
jection volume to improve the driveability during cold engine op-
eration.

neously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
