Scheme 329: Avalon

Scheme 330

Scheme 330
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect electrical connector at airflow meter. Airflow meter is bolted to top side of air intake hose, near upper cap on air cleaner assembly. Remove airflow meter and note airflow meter terminal identification. (Scheme 329)
  2. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals E2 and THA. Resistance should be within specification in relation to the temperature. See «AIRFLOW METER RESISTANCE»(/toyota/camry-solara/i-1998-2003/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-system-component-testing-v6-v8) table. Replace airflow meter if resistance is not within specification.
  3. To test airflow meter operation, ensure electrical connector is installed on airflow meter. Connect voltmeter leads to proper terminals on airflow meter with electrical connector installed. (Scheme 330)
  4. Turn ignition on. Apply air into airflow meter and note voltage reading. (Scheme 330) While air is being applied, voltage reading should fluctuate. Replace airflow meter if voltage does not fluctuate. Remove voltmeter. Reinstall airflow meter.
