DTC P0101 MAF Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION (+).
- If DTC P0121 P2119 P0121 and/or P2119 are stored at the same time as DTC P0101 troubleshoot those DTCs first, then recheck for DTC P0101.
- 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 next step.
NO -Repair or replace the damaged part(s), then go to step 13.
- Check for damage or incorrectly installed air duct in the air cleaner.
Is it OK?
YES -Go to next step.
NO -Reconnect or replace the air duct, then go to step 13.
- Check for a dirty air cleaner element.
Is it dirty?
YES -Replace the air cleaner element (see AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT (+) then go to step 14.
NO -Go to next step.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HAS.
Is there about 0.2 GM/s or 0.5 V?
YES -Go to next step.
NO -Go to step 12.
- Start the engine.
- Vary the engine speed between 2, 000 and 3, 000 RPM.
- Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HAS.
Does the reading change?
YES -Go to 10 .
NO -Go to step 12.
- Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:
- ENGINE SPEED
- VSS
- MAP SENSOR
- MAF SENSOR
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 in the DTCs MENU with the HAS.
Does the HAS indicate FAILED?
YES -Go to next step.
NO -If the HAS 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 HAS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 10 and recheck.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Replace the MAF sensor/I AT sensor (see MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT (+).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the PCM with the HAS.
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE (+).
- Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:
- ENGINE SPEED
- VSS
- MAP SENSOR
- MAF SENSOR
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HAS.
Is DTC P0101 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1.
NO -Go to next step.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 in the DTCs MENU with the HAS.
Does the HAS indicate PASSED?
YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 18, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO -If the HAS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the HAS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 17.
