| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0100 | Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit |
| P0102 | Air Flow Meter Circuit Low Input |
| P0103 | Air Flow Meter Circuit High Input |
DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter uses a platinum hot wire. The mass air flow meter consists of a platinum hot wire, a temperature sensor and a control circuit installed in a plastic housing. The mass air flow meter works on the principle that the hot wire and temperature sensor located in the intake air by-pass of the housing detect any changes in the intake air temperature.
The hot wire is maintained at the predetermined temperature by controlling the current flow through the hot wire. This current flow is then related as the output voltage of the mass air flow meter.
The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and temperature sensor provide a bridge circuit, with the power transistor controlled so that the potential of A and B remains equal to maintain the predetermined temperature.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0100 | Open or short in mass air flow meter circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed at 2,000 rpm or less (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0102 | Open in mass air flow meter circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed at 2,000 rpm or less (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0103 | Short in mass air flow meter circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed at 2,000 rpm or less (1 trip detection logic) |

Tech Tips
After confirming DTC P0100, P0102 or P0103, check the mass air flow ratio by selecting the following menu items on an intelligent tester: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / MAF.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (MAF)
Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / MAF.
Read the value.
