ECD SYSTEM(for CCo), Diagnostic DTC:P0100

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.

Tip:

  • 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 worsens

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

  • 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.
