OK or NG

OK: GO TO 2.

NG: GO TO 4.
CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect front air control connector.
3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M146 terminal 1 and front air control harness connector M49 terminal 13.
  1 - 13 : Continuity should exist.
