DTC P0100 Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The mass air flow meter uses a platinum hot wire. The hot wire air flow meter consists of a platinum hot wire,
temparature sensor and a control circuit installed in a plastic housing. The hot wire air flow meter works on
the principle that the hot wire and temparature sensor located in the intake air bypass of the housing detect
any changes in the intake air temp.
The hot wire is maintained at the set temp. by controlling the current flow through the hot wire. This current
flow is then measured as the output voltage of the air flow meter.
The circuit is constructed so that the platinum hot wire and temparature sensor provide a bridge circuit,with
the power transistor controlled so that the potential of A and B remains equal to maintain the set temp.

If the ECM detects DTC ºP0100º it operates the fail±safe function, keeping the ignition timing and injection
volume constant and making it possible to drive the vehicle.

After confirming DTC P0100 use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to confirm the mass air
flow ratio from ºCURRENT DATAº.

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.
1 Connect OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester, and read value of mass
air flow rate.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) Start the engine.

DTC P0110 Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The intake air temp. sensor is built into the mass air flow meter
and senses the intake air temperature.
A thermistor built in the sensor changes the resistance value
according to the intake air temperature, the lower the intake air
temperature, the greater the thermistor resistance value, and
the higher the intake air temperature, the lower the thermistor
resistance value (See fig.1).
The air intake temperature sensor is connected to the ECM
(See below). The 5V power source voltage in the ECM is ap-
plied to the intake air temp. sensor from the terminal THA via
a resistor R.
That is, the resistor R and the intake air temp. sensor are con-
nected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air
temp. sensor changes in accordance with changes in the intake
air temperature, the potential at terminal THA also changes.
Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection vol-
ume to improve driveability during cold engine operation.
If the ECM detects the DTC ºP0110º, it operates the fail safe
function in which the intake air temperature is assumed to be
20°C (68°F).

If there is open circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester indicates ± 40°C (± 40°F).

If there is short circuit, OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.
