DTC P0100 Mass Air Flow Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the intake air volume using the following built-in components:- By-pass duct (allows some of the intake air to flow past a silicon chip sensor).
- Silicon chip sensor (uses a heater control bridge circuit and temperature sensor bridge circuit to detect the difference in the temperature of the intake air that passes the sensors positioned before and after the heater).
- Control circuit (converts the difference in temperature into a pulse signal and performs correction).
The ECM calculates the intake air volume based on the pulse signal received from the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
The heater control bridge circuit has a temperature sensor and power transistor, and maintains the heater temperature at a specific temperature.

DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
3 seconds after engine is started | Mass air flow meter sub-assembly signal frequency is less than 0.1 kHz with the engine speed at 400 rpm or more for 3 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |

- HINT:
- 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
WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (LandCruiser RM0000012XK0AVX.html) and initialization (LandCruiser RM000000TIN08IX.html).
- HINT:
- 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.
1.CHECK MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY (POWER SOURCE OF MASS AIR FLOW METER SUB-ASSEMBLY) |
Disconnect the mass air flow meter sub-assembly connector.
![]() |
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition C33-3 (5V) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 4.8 to 5.2 V C33-1 (FG) - C33-2 (E2G) Engine switch on (IG) 4.8 to 5.2 V
