Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport, 2002 Isuzu Rodeo, 2002 Isuzu Axiom, and 2002 Honda Passport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing OBD-II system check, go to next step.
- Start engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. With engine at idle, monitor MAF sensor FREQUENCY parameter on scan tool. If display is less than 1.6 grams/sec., go to next step. If display is 1.6 grams/sec. or more, go to step 5.
- Turn ignition on. Review and record FAILURE RECORDS data on scan tool. Operate vehicle within FAILURE RECORDS conditions. On scan tool, monitor DTC information. If scan tool indicates DTC P0102 FAILED THIS IGNITION, go to next step. If scan tool does not display P0102, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor 3-pin harness connector. MAF sensor is located in air intake pipe, at air cleaner housing. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and MAF sensor harness connector terminal No. 1 (Black/Blue wire). See Figure. Voltage reading should be 11.5-12 volts. If voltage is not as specified, leave ignition on, harness connector disconnected and go to next step. If voltage is as specified, go to step 8.
- Connect test light between MAF sensor harness connector terminal No. 2 (Black/Blue wire) and No. 3 (Black/Yellow wire). If test light does not illuminate, leave ignition on, harness connector disconnected and go to next step. If test light illuminates, go to step 7.
- Connect test light between ground and MAF sensor harness connector terminal No. 3 (Black/Yellow wire). If test light does not illuminate, leave harness connector disconnected and go to next step. If test light illuminates, go to step 11.
- Check for poor or loose connections in MAF sensor harness connector. If no problem is found, leave harness connector disconnected and go to step 12. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair is complete, see VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM Blue 80-pin harness connector E-34. PCM is located at left rear of engine compartment, near air filter housing. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and PCM harness connector E-34 terminal No. 14. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Zero volts should exist. If voltage is as specified, leave harness connectors disconnected and go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, leave PCM harness connector disconnected and go to step 10.
- Turn ignition on. Check for short in wiring between MAF sensor signal circuit (Black/Blue wire) and ignition voltage circuit (Black/Yellow wire). If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair is complete, see VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Turn ignition on. Check for open, short to ground or short to MAF sensor ground in Black/Blue wire (MAF sensor signal) between MAF sensor and PCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair is complete, see VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no problem with wiring is found, go to step 13.
- Locate and repair open in Black/Blue wire (sensor ground circuit) between ground point E-23 and MAF sensor. Ground point E-23 is located on leftside of intake manifold. After repair is complete, see VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Locate and repair open in Black/Yellow wire (ignition feed circuit) between MAF sensor harness connector and PCM. After repair is complete, see VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Replace MAF sensor. After repair is complete, see VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Replace and reprogram PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT under POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. Use scan tool to clear DTC and verify repair.
