DESCRIPTION
The intake mass air flow meter assembly consists of a platinum hot wire, temperature sensor and control circuit installed in a plastic housing. The temperature sensor (located in the intake air by-pass of the housing) detects the intake air temperature.
There is little variation in the output from the intake mass air flow meter assembly, as it is hardly affected by the resistance of the wire harness.
The internal circuit of the intake mass air flow meter assembly contains a hot wire and cold wire. A voltage is output through a bridge circuit (refer to the illustration) indicating the cooling of the hot wire according to the intake air amount. This voltage is then converted into a periodic signal by the periodic signal conversion circuit and output to the ECM. The frequency varies between approximately 1945 and 8500 Hz depending on the air flow rate. The ECM calculates the mass air flow rate based on this frequency.
| DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| 3 seconds after engine is started | Mass air flow meter signal frequency is less than 850 Hz with the engine speed at 5000 rpm or less for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |
|
| DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| 3 seconds after engine is started | Mass air flow meter signal frequency is more than 9800 Hz with the engine speed at 5000 rpm or less for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |

| DTC No. | Data List |
|---|---|
| P0102 | MAF |
| P0103 |
Tech Tips
If DTC P0102 is stored, the following symptoms may appear (as the ECM mistakenly determines that there is less air than the actual intake air amount, EGR is decreased according to the target EGR):
Combustion noise worsens
If DTC P0103 is stored, the following symptoms may appear (as the ECM mistakenly determines that there is more air than the actual intake air amount, EGR is increased according to the target EGR):
Misfire
White smoke
Black smoke

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.
Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
