[Supras] Failed AFM?

Recently a problem with the Supra occurred, which I would appreciate
opinions from list members on.
At engine idle, air fuel ratio will become increasingly rich. Per the wide
band, it will increase from 14.5 to 1 to over 9 to 1. Anything more than 9
to 1 and my wideband will display "RICH".
Code 31 is persistent (AFM signal) and returns after pulling the EFI fuse.
No other codes occur.
I have checked wiring from AFM to ECU, continuity is good. Voltage checks at
ECU wiring terminals are within normal values, per TSRM, except the KS (air
flow meter) voltage.
Per the TSRM, the voltage at KS with ignition switch on, should be between 4
to 6 volts. I have 5.18 volts. However, with the engine running, the KS
voltage should be 2 to 4 volts. My voltage remains at 5.18 volts. The
voltage does not drop until the engine RPM reaches 2500, then it will bounce
between 2 and 3 volts and the A/F ratio will drop to 14.5 to 1.
If I slowly reduce RPM from 2500 to idle, the A/F ratio will bounce back and
forth between rich and lean. KS voltage is bouncing from around 3 volts to a
bit over 5 during this RPM drop.
Resistance for the water temp sensor and injector cold start time switch are
normal, per TSRM.
At this point, I decided to take a break and ask the list for help. Does
this sound like an issue with the AFM?
Input requested. Thank you,
Mike Green
