DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter uses a platinum hot wire. The mass air flow meter consists of a platinum hot wire, a temperature sensor and a control circuit installed in a plastic housing. The mass air flow meter works on the principle that the hot wire and temperature sensor located in the intake air by-pass of the housing detect any changes in the intake air temperature.
The hot wire is maintained at the predetermined temperature by controlling the current flow through the hot wire. This current flow is then related as the output voltage of the mass air flow meter.
The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and temperature sensor provide a bridge circuit, with the power transistor controlled so that the potential of A and B remains equal to maintain the predetermined temperature.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0100 | Open or short in mass air flow meter circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed at 4,000 rpm or less (1 trip detection logic) | Open or short in mass air flow meter circuit Mass air flow meter ECM |
P0102 | Open in mass air flow meter circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed at 4,000 rpm or less (1 trip detection logic) | |
P0103 | Short in mass air flow meter circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed at 4,000 rpm or less (1 trip detection logic) |
- HINT:
- After confirming DTC P0100, P0102, or P0103, check the mass air flow ratio in the "Powertrain / Engine / Data List / MAF" using the intelligent tester.
Air Flow Value (gm/s) | Malfunction |
Approximately 0.0 | Open in mass air flow meter power source circuit Open or short in VG circuit |
174.0 or more | Open in EVG circuit |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration and initialization .
- HINT:
- If DTCs relating to different systems are output, and they share terminal E2 as their ground, check this ground circuit first.
1.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (MAF) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the intelligent tester ON.
Enter the following menus: "Powertrain / Engine / Data List / MAF" and read its value displayed on the intelligent tester.
- Result:
Air flow rate (gm/s) Proceed to 0.0 A 174.0 or more B Between 1 and 173.0 (*1) C *1: The value should change when the throttle valve is opened or closed.
