richardawg Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hey ethan, The best way to check this is if you have an OBD-II scanner with live data. With this scanner, you will be able to see the temperature in real time. Do you have one? Also you can check the sensor itself manually with a digital multimeter. You would need to puncture into the wire a little in order to do this but it is a sure fire way to see if the sensor is getting power. Do you have one? What problems are you having or why are you concerned about this sensor? The more information you give, the better to solve whatever problem you are currently having.

ethan Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks Richard, that was long time back and I agree with your suggestion. However I found easier way out to just to find if its working or not: Start the car - Remove the MAF (Mass Air Flow Meter Sensor) on air filter neck if car splutter or stalls (better) then AFM is working and doing its job. Found this idea by a road side garage and I was quite impressed with his simplified approach. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
