P0101 Mass Air Flow Circuit Range / Performance Problem

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)

*: 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)".


  • 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

Comes on DTC stored
Tip:
  • 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).

  • EGR Close Lrn. Val.

Tip:

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

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

DTC No. DTC Detection Drive Pattern
P0101 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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

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

Tip:

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.

      Note:
      • When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly, make sure the valve is completely closed.

      • Do not forcibly open the valve, as it may be damaged or deformed.

      • When cleaning the electric EGR control valve assembly, use a piece of cloth soaked with cleaning solvent. Spraying the solvent directly onto these parts or soaking the parts in the solvent may damage the parts.

      Hold the electric EGR control valve assembly up to a light, and then from the side indicated by the arrow in the illustration, visually check that there is no gap between the valve and body.

      OK
      No light passes through (there is no gap between the valve and body).
      Tip:

      Light passes through part A shown in the illustration even if the valve is completely closed as there is an opening in the sealring of the valve, this is not a problem.

      If light passes through (there is a gap between the valve and body), replace the electric EGR control valve assembly.
