Circuit Description

MAF sensor uses a platinum hot wire maintained at a constant temperature. Airflow past sensor affects temperature and current flow through sensor. DTC is set when ECM detects an open or short circuit for more than 3 seconds with engine speed of 4000 RPM or less. ECM will operate in fail-safe mode if DTC P0100 is set. Possible causes are:

• MAF open or short circuit.
• MAF sensor.
• ECM.
