DTC P0101:00: MAF sensor circuit range/performance problem: Notes

2013 Mazda 2 Touring, 1.5L Eng VIN Z, Automatic TransSECTION Notes
DTC DETECTION CONDITION & POSSIBLE CAUSES

DTC P0101:00  MAF sensor circuit range/performance problem 
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • When the conditions are as follows, the PCM compares the intake airflow amount with the estimated intake airflow amount (calculated from the barometric pressure, MAP sensor and throttle opening angle).

    MONITORING CONDITIONS 

    • Engine speed: below 4,500 rpm 
    • Barometric pressure divided by intake manifold absolute pressure: above 1.2 
    • Throttle position-throttle position before 20 ms: below 10 % 
    • Battery voltage: above 8 V 
  • If over a period continuing for 5 s, the cumulative value of the intake airflow amount divided by the estimated intake airflow amount is 1.35 or more,  and the value subtracted the estimated intake airflow amount from the intake airflow amount is 6 g/s {0.8 lb/min} or more,  the PCM determines that the detected mass air flow amount is above is too high.
  • If over a period continuing for 5 s,  the cumulative value of the intake airflow amount divided by the estimated intake airflow amount is 0.65 or less,  and the value subtracted the estimated intake airflow amount from the intake airflow amount is -6 g/s {-0.8 lb/min} or less,  the PCM determines that the detected mass air flow amount is above is too low.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • MAF/IAT sensor connector or terminals malfunction
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • MAF sensor malfunction
  • MAP sensor malfunction
  • PCM malfunction

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • 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.
