P011F





2UR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P010F: Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor
P010F - Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor

DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0102 P0102.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The MAF meter 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 an appropriate air-fuel ratio. Inside the MAF meter, 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 ECM heats it to a specific temperature. The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the voltage applied to the wire and internal thermistor. The voltage level is proportional to the airflow through the sensor, and the ECM uses it to calculate the intake air volume.

The ECM monitors the average engine load value ratio to check the MAF meter for malfunctions. The average engine load value ratio is obtained by comparing the average engine load calculated from the MAF meter output to the average engine load estimated from the driving conditions, such as the engine speed and the throttle opening angle. If the average engine load value ratio is below the threshold value, the ECM determines that the intake air volume is low, and if the average engine load value ratio is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that the intake air volume is high.

If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT
Performing this confirmation pattern will activate the mass air flow performance monitor.





1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

3. Turn the Techstream ON.

4. Clear DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

5. Start the engine, and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 70°C (158°F) or higher.

6. Drive the vehicle at approximately 100 km/h (62 mph) for 20 seconds or more.

7. On the Techstream, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending; then check if any DTCs (any pending DTCs) are set.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- When viewed from the rear of the engine assembly, Bank 1 is on the left side and Bank 2 is on the right side.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P010F)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream ON.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

(e) Read DTCs.

Result





HINT
If any DTCs other than P010F are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B -- GO TO DTC CHART SFI System
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

(a) Check the air induction system for vacuum leakage Testing and Inspection.

OK:

No leakage from air induction system.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK PCV HOSE CONNECTIONS

OK:

PCV hose is connected correctly and is not damaged.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE PCV HOSE

OK -- REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW METER (for Bank 1 and Bank 2) Removal
