DTC P0100 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit
DTC P0102 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input
DTC P0103 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit High Input
DESCRIPTION
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter is a sensor that measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve.The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and to provide the appropriate air-fuel ratio.
Inside the MAF meter, there is a heated platinum wire which is exposed to the flow of intake air.
By applying a specific electrical current to the wire, the ECM heats it to a given temperature. The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the voltage applied to these components in the MAF meter. The voltage level is proportional to the airflow through the sensor, and the ECM uses it to calculate the intake air volume.
The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and the temperature sensor create a bridge circuit, and the power transistor is controlled so that the potentials of A and B remain equal to maintain the predetermined temperature.
- HINT:
- When any of these DTCs are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is calculated by the ECM, according to the engine RPM and throttle valve position. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

| DTC No. | DTC Detection Conditions | Trouble Areas |
| P0100 | MAF meter voltage less than 0.2 V, or more than 4.9 V for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P0102 | MAF meter voltage less than 0.2 V for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic) | |
| P0103 | MAF meter voltage more than 4.9 V for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic) |
- HINT:
- When any of these DTCs are set, check the air-flow rate by selecting the following menu items on an intelligent tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAF.
| Mass Air Flow Rate (g/sec) | Malfunctions |
| Approximately 0.0 |
|
| 271.0 or more |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record 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, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the tester on.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAF.
Read the values displayed on the tester.
- Result:
Mass Air Flow Rate (g/sec) Proceed To 0.0 A 271.0 or more B Between 1.0 and 270.0 (*1) C
