DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter sub-assembly is a sensor that measures the intake air volume using the following built-in components:
Intake air flows over the temperature sensor (before heater), the heater, and then the temperature sensor (after heater) on the silicon chip sensor in the by-pass passage. As the intake air is warmed up when it is exposed to the heater, the temperature of the intake air flowing over the temperature sensor (after heater) is higher than that over the temperature sensor (before heater). The difference in temperature of the intake air at each temperature sensor varies depending on the velocity of the intake air that flows over the silicon chip sensor. The temperature sensor bridge circuit detects the difference in temperature, and the control circuit converts it into a pulse signal and outputs it to the ECM. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor (before heater) is higher than that detected by the temperature sensor (after heater), backflow of the intake air is detected.
The ECM calculates the intake air amount based on the pulse signal received from the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, and uses it to determine the fuel injection duration necessary for an optimal air-fuel ratio.
The heater control bridge circuit includes temperature sensors and power transistor, and maintains the heater temperature at a specific temperature.
HINT:
When DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM calculates the fuel injection duration based on the engine speed and throttle valve angle. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
P010012 | Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery | The mass air flow meter sub-assembly output frequency is higher than 9.8 kHz for 3 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | SAE: P0103 |
P010014 | Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground or Open | The mass air flow meter sub-assembly output frequency is less than 0.1 kHz for 3 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | SAE: P0102 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is a defect or an open or short circuit in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, the frequency level deviates from the normal operating range. The ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly circuit and stores a DTC.
Example:
When the sensor output frequency remains less than 0.1 kHz, or higher than 9.8 kHz for 3 seconds, the ECM stores a DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
HINT:
Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
(a) Disconnect the mass air flow meter sub-assembly connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage:

|
(d) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
D23-3(VCC) - D23-1(FG) | Ignition switch off | 2.09 to 2.31 kΩ |
D23-2(E2G) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

The front seat belt pretensioners are designed to deploy in moderate or severe frontal, near frontal collisions.
In addition, the pretensioners operate when a side collision or a rollover accident is detected. The pretensioners operate differently depending on what types of air bags are equipped. For more details about the seat belt pretensioner operation, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria.
