HINT:
After confirming DTC P0100, P0102 or P0103, use the hand±held tester or the OBD II scan tool to confirm
the MAF ratio from the ALL menu (to reach the ALL menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST
/ ALL).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is a defect in the MAF (Mass Air Flow) meter or an open or short circuit, the voltage level will deviate
outside the normal operating range. The ECM interprets this deviation as a defect in the MAF meter and sets
a DTC.
Example:
When the MAF meter voltage output is less than 0.2 V, or more than 4.9 V, and if either the condition contin-
ues for more than 3 sec.

(2 trip detection logic)

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118 and P0125 are output simultaneously, ECT sensor circuit may
be open or shorted. Perform the troubleshooting of DTC P0115, P0117 or P0118 first.

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.
Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses throttle position sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle.
(a) There is an expected specific voltage difference between VTA1 and VTA2 for each throttle opening
angle.

If the difference between VTA1 and VTA2 is incorrect the ECM interprets this as a fault and will set a
DTC.
(b) VTA1 and VTA2 each have a specific voltage operating range.

If VTA1 or VTA2 is out of the normal operating range the ECM interprets this as a fault and will set a
DTC.
(c) VTA1 and VTA2 should never be close to the same voltage levels.

If VTA1 is within the range of ± 0.02 V of VTA2 the ECM interprets this as a short circuit in the throttle
position sensor system and will set a DTC.
FAIL SAFE
If the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle
control motor. The throttle control valve returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16°) by
the force of the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel infection (inter-
mittent fuel±cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the
vehicle to continue at a minimum speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail±safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.

Condition (a) continues for 2.0 sec.:
(a) Difference between VTA1 and VTA2 deviates from the
threshold
Throttle control motor and sensor
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses throttle position sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle.
This sensor includes two signals, VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the throttle opening angle and
VTA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. There are several checks that the ECM performs confirm prop-
er operation of the throttle position sensor and VTA1.
There is a specific voltage difference expected between VTA1 and VTA2 for each throttle opening angle.
If the voltage output difference of the VTA1 and VTA2 deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM
interprets this as a malfunction of the throttle position sensor. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is
set.
FAIL SAFE
If the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle
control motor. The throttle control valve returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16°) by
the force of the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel infection (inter-
mittent fuel±cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the
vehicle to continue at a minimum speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail±safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM estimates the coolant temperature based on starting temperature, engine loads, and engine
speeds. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT (Engine Coolant Tempera-
ture). When the estimated coolant temperature reaches 75C (167F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If
the actual ECT is less than 75C (167F), the ECM will interpret this as a fault in the thermostat or engine
cooling system and set a DTC.
