DESCRIPTION

The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve.
The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and to provide the appropriate air fuel ratio.
Inside the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, there is a heated platinum wire which is exposed to the flow of intake air by applying a specific electrical current to the wire.
The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant temperature value of the hot wire, current is applied to these components in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly. The voltage level is proportional to the airflow through the sensor, and the ECM uses it to calculate the intake air volume.
The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and the temperature sensor create a bridge circuit, and the power transistor is controlled so that the potentials of A and B remain equal to maintain the predetermined temperature.

HINT:
When either of these DTCs are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ignition timing is calculated by the ECM, according to the engine speed and throttle valve position. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

HINT:
When any of these DTCs are set, check the air-flow rate by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAF.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If there is a defect in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly or an open or short circuit, the voltage level deviates from the normal operating range. The ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly circuit and sets a DTC.
Example:
When the sensor output voltage remains less than 0.2 V, or higher than 4.9 V, for more than 3 seconds, the ECM sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

1.READ DTC OUTPUT (DTC P0102 AND P0103)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  1. Turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read the DTCs.
