DTC P0101 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS: IS CONCERN INTERMITTENT OR CONSTANT? Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2. Start the engine. Access the TP and MAF PIDs. Read the MAF PID when the TP PID is more than 50%. Is the MAF PID less than 9 g/s {1.2 lb/min} ?	Yes	Verify that the TP PID changes smoothly while gradually opening throttle valve. If it changes smoothly, go to Step 5. If it does not change smoothly, replace the throttle body and go to Step 5. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	VERIFY CURRENT INPUT SIGNAL STATUS: IS CONCERN INTERMITTENT OR CONSTANT? Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2. Start the engine. Access the ECT, RPM and MAF PIDs. Warm-up the engine until the ECT PID is more than 70 °C {158 °F}. Read the MAF PID when the RPM PID is less than 2,000 RPM. Is the MAF PID more than 65 g/s {8.6 lb/min} ?	Yes	Go to Step 6.
4		No	Intermittent concern exists. Perform the "INTERMITTENT CONCERNS TROUBLESHOOTING". (See INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING .)
5	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0101 COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. Start the engine. Access the TP PID. Drive the vehicle for 5 s or more when the TP PID is more than 50%. Is the PENDING CODE same as the DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to Step 9. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
5		No	Go to Step 9.
6	INSPECT MAF SENSOR Inspect the MAF sensor. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR INSPECTION .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the MAF/IAT sensor, then go to Step 8. (See MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)/INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE (IAT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	INSPECT ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR Inspect the eccentric shaft position sensor. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the eccentric shaft position sensor, then go to the next step. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0101 COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. Start the engine. Access the ECT and RPM PIDs. Warm-up the engine until the ECT PID is more than 70 °C {158 °F}. Drive the vehicle for 5 s or more when the RPM PID is less than 2,000 RPM. Is the PENDING CODE same as the DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
8		No	Go to the next step.
9	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .) Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE .)
9		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
