DTC P0102, P0103 MAF SENSOR

PFP:22680

Component Description

UBS00D2I

The mass air flow sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It mea-
sures the intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire intake
flow. It consists of a hot wire that is supplied with electric current from
the ECM. The temperature of the hot wire is controlled by the ECM a
certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire is reduced as
the intake air flows around it. The more air, the greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the ECM must supply more electric current to maintain
the temperature of the hot wire as air flow increases. The ECM
detects the air flow by means of this current change.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor Mode

UBS00D2J

Specification data are reference values.

On Board Diagnosis Logic

UBS00D2K

These self-diagnoses have the one trip detection logic.

FAIL-SAFE MODE

When the malfunction is detected, the ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

UBS00D2L

NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 5 seconds before conducting the next test. 

PROCEDURE FOR DTC P0102

 With CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.

3.

Start engine and wait 5 seconds at most.

4.

If DTC is detected, go to 

EC-146, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 .

 With GST

Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-II”.

PROCEDURE FOR DTC P0103

 With CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II. 

3.

Wait at least 6 seconds.

4.

If DTC is detected, go to 

EC-146, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 7.

If DTC is not detected, go to next step.

5.

Start engine and let it idle for at least 6 seconds.

6.

If DTC is detected, go to 

EC-146, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 .

 With GST

Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-II”.

Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.

CAUTION:

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

Diagnostic Procedure

1. 

INSPECTION START

Which malfunction (P0102 or P0103) is duplicated?

P0102 or P0103

P0102 >> GO TO 2.
P0103 >> GO TO 3.

2. 

CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM

Check the followings for connection.

●

Air duct

●

Air cleaner

●

Vacuum hoses

●

Intake air passage between air duct to collector

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 3.
