INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Perform a visual check for any foreign matter on the intake air temperature sensor (thermistor) of the mass air flow meter sub-assembly shown in the illustration.

OK:

There is no foreign matter.

If the result is not as specified, clean the intake air temperature sensor (thermistor).
