INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Bank 1 refers to bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
Bank 2 refers to bank that does not include cylinder No. 1.
If DTC P0011, P0012 is displayed, check the bank 1 VVT system.
If DTC P0021, P0022 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system.
Read freeze frame data using the hand±held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at
the time of the malfunction.

P0101
After engine is warmed up, conditions (a), (b), (c) and (d) con-
tinue for more than 10 seconds:
(2 trip detection logic)
(a) Throttle valve fully closed
(b) Voltage output of the mass air flow meter is more than 2.2
V.
(c) Engine coolant temperature is more than 70 °C (158 °F).
(d) Engine speed is less than 2,000 rpm.
Mass air flow meter
Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for more than 10 seconds
at engine speed: (2 trip detection logic)
(a) Engine speed is more than 300 rpm.
(b) Voltage output of the mass air flow meter is less than 1.0 V.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) meter helps the ECM calculate the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve.
The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and provide a proper air fuel ratio. Inside
the MAF meter, there is a heated platinum wire exposed to the flow of intake air. By applying a specific current
to the wire, the ECM heats this wire to a given temperature. The flow of incoming air cools the wire and an
internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the volt-
age applied to these components in the MAF meter. The voltage level is proportional to the air flow through
the MAF meter. The ECM interprets this voltage as the intake air amount. If there is a defect in the MAF meter
or an open or short circuit, the voltage level will deviate outside the normal operating range. The ECM inter-
prets this deviation as a defect in the MAF meter and sets a DTC.
Example:
If the voltage is more than 2.2 V at idle or less than 1.0 V at idle OFF, the ECM interprets this as a defect
in the MAF meter and sets a DTC.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor is built in the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and changes the resistance value ac-
cording to the engine coolant temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sen-
sor.
HINT:
If the ECM detects the DTC ºP0115, P0117 or P0118º, it operates the fail±safe function in which the ECT
is assumed to be 80C (176F).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ECT
sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the engine coolant. When
the coolant temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the
resistance drops. The resistance varies as output voltage from the sensor changes.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature.
When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault
in the ECT sensor and sets a DTC.

Example:
When the ECM calculates that the ECT is less than ±40C (±40F), or more than 140C (284F), and if either
the condition continues for 0.5 sec. or more, the ECM will set a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTCs related to different system that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simulta-
neously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the
vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air±fuel ratio was lean or
rich, as well as other data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
