Fuel Injection 
ECM Relay 
4 Check  for voltage  at terminal  6 (30) at reiay socket 
If  battery voltage  is present continue testing. 
if battery voltage  is  not present, check fuse  109 (80-amp 
fusible link) under passenger seat carpet.  See 610 Electri- 
cal 
Component Locations. 
- Reinstall relay  and turn  ignition  on. Gain access to back  side 
of  reiay socket  and check  for ground  at terminal 
4. 
If ground is  present continue testing. 
If  ground is  not present,  signal 
from ECM is missing. Check 
wire between  ECM and relay. 
- With ignition  on and  reiay installed, check lor battery voltage 
at terminal 
2. 
If  battery voltage  is present,  relay has energized  and is 
functioning  correctly. 
If  battery voltage  is not  present and 
ail earlier tests are OK, 
relay  is faulty  and should be  replaced. 
NOTE- 
If no faults  are found during testing  but power  is not  reaching 
the  ECM  or other  components,  check the fuses 
in the fuse 
carrier 
X8680 in the E-box. 
Mass  air flow (MAF) sensor,  checking and 
replacing 
4 The  hot f~lm mass air flow  (MAF) sensor sends a varying volt- 
age (approx. 0.5 - 4.5 vdc) to  the ECM representing  the mea- 
sured 
Intake air.  The alr mass input signal is produced 
electron~caily uslng an electrically  heated metal fllm in the  air 
flow stream. 
The  ECM relay  provides the  operating voltage to the  MAF 
sensor. As air 
flows through the  sensor, the film is cooled.  To 
maintain  the film  at a constant temperature, additional current 
is necessary.  It is  this  additional current that is the basis  lor 
the  input signal. 
If there is  no output signal from  the MAF sensor, the ECM op- 
erates  the engine  using the  throttle position and engine rpm 
inputs. A faulty  MAF sensor illuminates  the MIL.

< With ignition  off, remove ECM relay  (arrow) in electronics 
box (E-box)  at right rear  of engine  compartment. 
NOTE- 
Relay locations can  vary. Conh relay identification  by 
matcliing  wiring colors  and terminal  numbers. 
4 Check for voltage  at terminal 6 of main  relay socket  (30-red 
wire).  On M5.2  cars also check  for battery  voltage  at terminal 
8.

If battery voltage  is not present, check  large red wire(s) in 
relay socltet. See

for battery  voltage  at terminal  5. 
If battery voltage is present, relay has energized and is

If  battery  voltage  is not  present  and all earlier tests are  OK, 
relay is  faulty and should  be replaced.
