Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
DTC Description
DTC DETECTION LOGIC
| DTC | CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content) | DTC detection condition | |
| P010C-00 | MAF SEN/CIRCUIT-B2 (Mass or volume air flow "B" circuit low input) | Diagnosis condition | - |
| Signal (terminal) | Mass air flow sensor (bank 2) signal | ||
| Threshold | An excessively low frequency from the sensor is sent to ECM | ||
| Diagnosis delay time | - | ||
POSSIBLE CAUSE
- Harness or connectors [The mass air flow sensor (bank 2) circuit is open or shorted.]
- Mass air flow sensor (bank 2)
FAIL-SAFE
Engine Control System
| Fail safe mode | Vehicle behavior | |
|---|---|---|
| Traveling control mode | Accelerator angle variation control | ECM controls the accelerator pedal depression speed to make it slower than actual speed. This causes a drop in accelerating performance and encourages the driver to repair malfunction.
NOTE:
|
| Engine output control | ECM reduces the engine output, according to the rise in engine speed. This reduces the vehicle speed to encourage the driver to repair malfunction. Driving at 70 km/h (44 MPH) or more is possible.
NOTE:
|
|
| Device fix mode |
|
|
| Combustion control mode | Stratified charge combustion control at starting | No stratified charge combustion at starting (cold start). |
| Idle speed control | Stops feedback control of idle speed and controls with specified speed. | |
| Recovery speed control at decelerating | Stops recovery speed control by the fuel cut at decelerating and controls with specified speed. | |
| Ignition timing correction control | Partially controls ignition timing control. | |
| Retardation control | Controls ignition timing delay control in the intermediate water temperature range. | |

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.
