DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the intake air amount using the following built-in components:
By-pass passage (allows a portion of the intake air to flow towards a silicon chip sensor)
Silicon chip sensor (uses a heater control bridge circuit and temperature sensor bridge circuit to detect the difference in the temperature of the intake air that flows over the sensors positioned before and after the heater).
Control circuit (converts the difference in temperature into a pulse signal and performs correction)
Intake air flows over the temperature sensor (before heater), the heater, and then the temperature sensor (after heater) on the silicon chip sensor in the by-pass passage. As the intake air is warmed up when it is exposed to the heater, the temperature of the intake air flowing over the temperature sensor (after heater) is higher than that over the temperature sensor (before heater). The difference in temperature of the intake air at each temperature sensor varies depending on the velocity of the intake air that flows over the silicon chip sensor. The temperature sensor bridge circuit detects the difference in temperature, and the control circuit converts it into a pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor (before heater) is higher than that detected by the temperature sensor (after heater), backflow of the intake air is detected.
The ECM calculates the intake air amount based on the pulse signal received from the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, and uses it to determine the fuel injection duration necessary for optimal air-fuel ratio.
The heater control bridge circuit includes temperature sensors and power transistor, and maintains the heater temperature at specific temperature.
When DTCs is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM calculates the fuel injection duration based on the engine speed and throttle valve angle. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is a defect or an open or short circuit in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, the frequency level deviates from the normal operating range. The ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly circuit and stores a DTC.
Example:
When the sensor output frequency remains less than 0.1 kHz, or higher than 9.8 kHz for 3 seconds, the ECM stores a DTC.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
With power switch on (IG) and wait for 5 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the pending DTCs.
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P010012 or P010014.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
Disconnect the mass air flow meter sub-assembly connector.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
