DTC P0101: MAF Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem (2013-15)

NOTE:
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P0101 MAF Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Parts condition check:

    Check for poor connections or damage to these parts:

    • PCV hose
    • Intake air duct
    • Air cleaner
    • Purge (PCS) line
    • Brake booster
    • Brake booster hose

    Are the parts OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Repair or replace the damaged part(s), then do the repair verification.

  2. Intake air duct visual check:

    Check for damage or looseness of the intake air duct in the air cleaner.

    Is it OK?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Reconnect or replace the intake air duct in the air cleaner, then do the repair verification.

  3. Air cleaner element visual check:

    Check for a dirty air cleaner element.

    Is it dirty?

    YES 

    Replace the air cleaner element , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. MAF sensor signal check (without engine running):

    Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

    - 2. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

    - 3. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    MAF SENSOR About 0.2 g/s    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor , then do the repair verification.

  5. MAF sensor signal check (with engine running):

    Start the engine.

    - 2. Vary the engine speed between 2, 000 rpm and 3, 000 rpm.

    - 3. Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    MAF SENSOR    

    Does the reading change?

    YES 

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor , then do the repair verification.

  6. MAF sensor check:

    Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

    - 2. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:

    • ENGINE SPEED
    • VEHICLE SPEED
    • MAP SENSOR
    • TP SENSOR

    Freeze Data

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    ENGINE SPEED    
    VEHICLE SPEED    
    MAP SENSOR    
    TP SENSOR    

    - 3. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 with the HDS.

    DTC Description OBD STATUS
    P0101 MAF Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem  

    Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

    YES 

    Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the PCM. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 6-2 and recheck.

  7. Repair verification (OBD STATUS check):1.

    Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

    - 2. Reset the PCM with the HDS - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems (2013-15), or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2013-15) .

    Reset PCM

    - 3. Do the PCM idle learn procedure .

    - 4. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:

    • ENGINE SPEED
    • VEHICLE SPEED
    • MAP SENSOR
    • TP SENSOR
    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    ENGINE SPEED    
    VEHICLE SPEED    
    MAP SENSOR    
    TP SENSOR    

    - 5. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

    DTC Description OBD STATUS
    P0101 MAF Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem  

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Does the HDS indicate PASSED, FAILED, or NOT COMPLETED?

    PASSED

    Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

    FAILED

    Go to step 1 and recheck.

    NOT COMPLETED

    Meet the test condition, and check the OBD STATUS again.
