ult Code Definition
The Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF)
measures the amount of air entering the engine and the Engine Control
Module (ECM) uses the information to determine the proper amount of fuel
quantity and ignition timing. The P0101 trouble code is set when the
ECM detects a problem in the electrical circuit to the MAF Sensor.

  • Mass or Volume Flow Circuit/Performance Malfunction


Symptoms


  • Check Engine Light will illuminate
  • In some cases, there may be no adverse conditions noticed by the driver
  • In other cases, there may performance problems, such as a lack of
    power on acceleration, "coughing," misfiring, and/or backfiring
  • Problems idling
  • Black smoke from the tail pipe and poor fuel mileage
  • Other codes may be triggered by the Mass Air Flow Sensor problem
    such as Oxygen Sensor and/or Fuel Trim Lean/Rich codes (P0130/P0136,
    P0131/P0137, P0132/P0138, P0135/P0155, P0171/P0174, P0172/P0175)
