| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0100 | Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction |
DESCRIPTION
The 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 mass air flow meter assembly, as it is hardly affected by the resistance of the wire harness.
The internal circuit of the 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 No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0100 | Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction | Mass air flow meter assembly signal frequency is less than 850 Hz with the engine speed at 400 rpm or higher for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |

Tech Tips
If DTC P0100 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 increases

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) 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.
PROCEDURE
CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF MASS AIR FLOW METER ASSEMBLY)

Tech Tips
If the voltage at the mass air flow meter assembly connector is not 11 to 14 V, repair or replace the harness and connector between the mass air flow meter assembly and EFI-MAIN relay (including the EFI NO. 1 fuse).
Repair or replace the harness or connector.

CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs.
Start the engine and wait for 3 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Confirm that the DTC is not output.
