DTC P0102 (50) Advanced Diagnostics

DTC P0102:

Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage










General Description

The mass airflow (MAF) sensor is attached to the intake air passage, and it measures the amount of intake airflow. The MAF sensor is a hot wire airflow meter. The airflow cools the electrically heated wire that is mounted in the air passage. The powertrain control module (PCM) determines the amount of intake airflow by detecting the current that is required to keep the hot wire at a constant temperature. The lower limit of the MAF sensor output is specified. If the output is below that limit, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Enable Conditions





Malfunction Threshold

The MAF sensor output voltage is 0.10 V or less for at least 2.0 seconds.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
