Code No. P0102: Air flow Sensor Circuit Low Input










OPERATION



  • Power is supplied by the engine control relay (terminal No. 3) to the air flow sensor (terminal No. 2), and the air flow sensor (terminal No. 4) is earthed through the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 96).
  • The air flow sensor (terminal No. 3) outputs a sensor signal, which is input into the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 63).

FUNCTION



  • The air flow sensor outputs current that varies in accordance with the intake air volume.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> controls exhaust gas recirculation control, etc.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Condition
  • 3 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in "ON" position.
Judgment Criterion
  • The air flow sensor output voltage is 0.2 V or less for 2 second.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed air flow sensor
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in air flow sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 10: Air flow sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: B-32 air flow sensor connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform voltage measurement at B-32 air flow sensor connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 2 and earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5 .
Go to Step 4 .

STEP 4. Connector check: B-15X engine control relay connector

Q. Is the check result normal?

    Check intermediate connector D-111, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is normal, check and repair harness between B-15X (terminal No. 1) engine control relay connector and B-32 (terminal No. 2) air flow sensor connector.

    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 5. Connector check: D-245 engine-ECU <M/T> connector or D-216 engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> connector

Q. Is the check result normal?

    Go to Step 6 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Check harness between B-32 (terminal No. 3) air flow sensor connector and D-245 (terminal No. 63) engine-ECU <M/T> connector or D-216 (terminal No. 63) engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> connector.

  • Check output line for open/short circuit and damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7 .
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 7. Connector check: B-15X engine control relay connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 8. Check harness between B-15X (terminal No. 1) engine control relay connector and B-32 (terminal No. 2) air flow sensor connector.
note Before checking harness, check intermediate connector D-111, and repair if necessary.

  • Check power supply line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 9 .
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 9. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table

  1. Item 10: Air flow sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Go to Step 10 .

STEP 10. Replace the air flow sensor

  • After replacing the air flow sensor, reconfirm whether the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?
Replace the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>.
Check end.
