Diagnostic Procedure

DTC P0101:00 (PCM, VINs 7, L, M) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Results Action
1 RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
  • Record the freeze frame data/snapshot data.
    NOTE:
    • Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
- Go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION OR SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
  • Verify related Service Bulletins, online repair information, or Service Information availability.
  • Is any related Information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS IS CONCERN INTERMITTENT OR CONSTANT
  • ECT
  • TP_RELAT
    • ENG_RPM
  • Warm up the engine until the ECT PID is above 70°C {158°F}.
  • Perform the following:
  1. Depress the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to approx. 5, 000 rpm.
  2. Release the accelerator pedal to decrease the engine speed to idle speed.
  3. Repeat Step  1 and Step  2 operations above 3 times in succession.
  • Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM. (See DTC INSPECTION .)
  • Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Intermittent concern exists.
4 INSPECT MAP SENSOR/IAT SENSOR No. 2 CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION
  • Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION .)
  • Are the connector and terminal normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
5 INSPECT MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR No. 1 CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION
  • Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION .)
  • Are the connector and terminal normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
6 VERIFY IF MAP SENSOR/IAT SENSOR No. 2 IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY
Yes Go to the next step.
No Correctly install the MAP sensor/IAT sensor No. 2 and perform the repair completion verification.
(See MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
7 VERIFY IF MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR No. 1 IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY
Yes Go to the next step.
No Correctly install the MAF sensor/IAT sensor No. 1 and perform the repair completion verification.
(See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 1 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 1 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
8 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION
  • Inspect the applicable connector and terminal. (See CONNECTOR INSPECTION .)
  • Are the connector and terminal normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
9 INSPECT MAP SENSOR FOR MALFUNCTION
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
(See MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
10 INSPECT MAF SENSOR FOR MALFUNCTION
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
(See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 1 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR NO. 1 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
11 INSPECT INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM FOR AIR LEAKAGE
  • Inspect for leakage in intake-air system.
  • Is there any leakage?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
No Go to the next step.
12 INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE FOR MALFUNCTION
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
(See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
13 INSPECT PCV VALVE FOR MALFUNCTION
Yes Replace with a genuine air cleaner or air cleaner cover if a non-genuine part is installed.
Go to repair completion verification.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
(See POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
Repair completion verification 1 VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED
  • Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
  • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC .)
  • Replicate the vehicle conditions at the time the DTC was detected using the following procedure.
  • ECT
  • TP_RELAT
    • ENG_RPM
  • Warm up the engine until the ECT PID is above 70°C {158°F}.
  • Perform the following:
  1. Depress the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to approx. 5, 000 rpm.
  2. Release the accelerator pedal to decrease the engine speed to idle speed.
  3. Repeat Step  1 and Step  2 operations above 3 times in succession.
  • Is the same Pending DTC present?
Yes Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.
(See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW (US) .)
If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.
  • If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM, then go to the next step.

(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .) (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
No Go to the next step.
Repair completion verification 2 VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
