Testing if display near 140°C:
-- Disconnect the MAF / IAT sensor -G70 / G42- electrical harness connector.
-- Using the scan tool, check the intake air temperature:
If indication jumps to approx. -40 °C to -46 °C:
-- Switch ignition OFF.
-- Replace the MAF / IAT sensor -G70 / G42-.
If the indication remains at approx. 140 °C:
Checking wiring
-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to the Repair Information
-- Disconnect the T60 connector.
-- Using a multimeter, check for continuity between the MAF / IAT sensor -G70 / G42- harness connector terminal 2 to an engine ground, refer to the wiring diagram.
-- Using a multimeter, check for continuity between the MAF / IAT sensor -G70 / G42- harness connector terminal 2 to terminal 1, refer to the wiring diagram.
Specified value: OL or no continuity.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Repair the short to ground in the circuit.
If the specified value was obtained:
-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to the Repair Information.
