P0101
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

After the engine is completely warmed up, perform the following procedure 3 times: from a vehicle speed of 60 km/h (37 mph), accelerate the vehicle to 80 km/h (50 mph), quickly release the accelerator pedal and do not depress it for 7 seconds or more.

After performing the above procedure, immediately stop the vehicle and confirm that "Exhaust Temperature B1S2" displays 300°C (572°F) or higher using the GTS.

After the engine is completely warmed up, while the accelerator pedal is released for 7 seconds or more and the vehicle is decelerating, the intake air volume is higher or lower than the threshold* (EGR valve fully closed and throttle valve is fully open).

(2 trip detection logic)

  • Mass air flow meter sub-assembly

  • Intake air temperature sensor (turbo)

  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor

  • Electric EGR control valve assembly

  • ECM

  • Open or short in mass air flow meter sub-assembly circuit

*: There is a threshold for a low air flow rate malfunction and high air flow rate malfunction. The threshold is different depending on the values of "Engine Speed", "MAP" and "Intake Air Temp (Turbo)".

Tech Tips


  • Low air flow rate malfunction: For example when vehicle deceleration if "MAF" is 30 gm/sec or less, low air flow malfunction is confirmed (at "Engine Speed" is 1600 rpm, "MAP" is 110 kPa and "Intake Air Temp (Turbo)" is 35°C).

  • High air flow rate malfunction: For example when vehicle deceleration if "MAF" is 55 gm/sec or more, high air flow malfunction is confirmed (at "Engine Speed" is 1600 rpm, "MAP" is 110 kPa and "Intake Air Temp (Turbo)" is 35°C).

  • Actual EGR Valve Pos

  • EGR Close Lrn. Val.

  • Exhaust Temperature B1S2

Tech Tips

If DTC P0101 is stored, either of the following symptoms may appear:


  1. As the ECU mistakenly determines that there is less air than the actual intake air amount, EGR is decreased to match the target EGR.


    • Combustion noise worsens

  2. As the ECU mistakenly determines that there is more air than the actual intake air amount, EGR is increased to match the target EGR:


    • Misfire

    • White smoke

    • Black smoke

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (See page ) and initialization Click here.

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.
