DTC P0101 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Range / Performance Problem

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0101)

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch ON (IG) and turn the intelligent tester ON.

Enter the following menus: "Powertrain / Engine / DTC".

Read DTCs.

  • Result:
  • Display (DTC output)Proceed to
    P0101 and other DTCsA
    P0101B
  • HINT:
  • If codes other than P0101 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
