Diagnostic System Check - Engine
Controls
Description
The Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls is an
organized approach to identifying a condition that is
created by a malfunction in the electronic engine control
system. The Diagnostic System Check must be the
starting point for any driveability concern. The
Diagnostic System Check directs the service technician
to the next logical step in order to diagnose the concern.
Understanding and correctly using the diagnostic table
reduces diagnostic time, and prevents the replacement
of good parts.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic table.
2. Lack of communication may be because of a partial
or a total malfunction of the Keyword 2000 serial data
circuit. The specified procedure determines the
particular condition.



11. If there are other modules with DTCs set, refer to
the DTC list. The DTC list directs you to the appropriate
diagnostic procedure. If the control module stores
multiple DTCs, diagnose the DTCs in the following
order.
• Component level DTCs, such as sensor DTCs,
solenoid DTCs, actuator DTCs, and relay DTCs.
Diagnose the multiple DTCs within this category in
numerical order. Begin with the lowest numbered
DTC, unless the diagnostic table directs you
otherwise.
Important:

• DO NOT perform this diagnostic if there is not a
driveability concern, unless another procedure
directs you to this diagnostic.
• Before you proceed with diagnosis, search fo
r
applicable service bulletins.
• Unless a diagnostic procedure instructs you, DO
NOT clear the DTCs.
• If there is a condition with the starting system, refe
r
to the starting system section in the engine
mechanical.
• Ensure the battery has a full charge.
• Ensure the battery cables (+) (-) are clean and
tight.
• Ensure the ECM grounds are clean, tight, and in
the correct location.
• Ensure the ECM harness connectors are clean and
correctly connected.
• Ensure the ECM terminals are clean and correctl
y
mating.
• Ensure the fuel injection pump control unit (PCU)
ground is clean, tight, and in the correct location.
• Ensure the PCU harness connectors are clean and
correctly connected.
• Ensure the PCU terminals are clean and correctl
y
mating.
• Ensure the vehicle maintenance has been done
enough.

Scan Tool Data List
The scan tool Data List contains all engine related
parameters that are available on the scan tool. Use the
scan tool Data List only after the following is
determined: • The Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls is
completed.
• No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are present.
• On-board diagnostics are functioning properly.
The scan tool values from a properly running engine
may be used for comparison with the engine you are
diagnosing. The scan tool Data List represents values
that would be seen on a normal running engine.
Important:
A scan tool that displays faulty data should not be used.
The scan tool problem should be reported to the
manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool can result in
misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement. Onl
y

6E-66 Engine Control System (4JH1)
DTC P0100 (Symptom Code 7) (Flash Code 65)
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is an air flow meter that
measures the amount of air that enters the engine. It is
fitted between the air cleaner and turbocharger. A small
quantity of air that enters the engine indicates
deceleration or idle speed. A large quantity of air that
enters the engine indicates acceleration or a high load
condition. The MAF sensor has the following circuits.
• Ignition voltage circuit
• 5 volts reference circuit
• Low reference circuit
• MAF sensor signal circuit
The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts
reference voltage through the reference circuit to the
MAF sensor. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5
volts reference circuit. If the ECM detects an
excessively high MAF sensor 5 volts reference voltage,
this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC
• The ignition switch is ON.
Condition for Setting the DTC
• The ECM detects that the MAF sensor 5 volts
reference circuit voltage is more than 5.2 volts fo
r
0.5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicato
r
lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• The ECM uses a MAF substitution of 1600 mg/strk
for engine control.
• The ECM uses an EGR solenoid valve control
substitution of 10%.
Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving
cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to
Intermittent Conditions in this section.
Notice: • The MAF Sensor parameter on the scan tool will
only update with engine running.
Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the
diagnostic table.
3. If the MAF sensor 5 volts reference circuit between
the ECM and the sensor is normal, the sensor signal
voltage low DTC P0100 (Symptom Code B) will set.
