Monitor description
The maf meter is a sensor that measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve. The ecm uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and to provide an appropriate air-fuel ratio. Inside the maf meter, there is a heated platinum wire which is exposed to the flow of intake air. By applying a specific electrical current to the wire, the ecm heats it to a specific temperature. The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, affecting their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ecm varies the voltage applied to these components of the maf meter. The voltage level is proportional to the airflow through the sensor, and the ecm uses it to calculate the intake air volume.
The ecm monitors the average engine load value ratio to check the maf meter for malfunctions. The average engine load value ratio is obtained by comparing the average engine load calculated from the maf meter output to the average engine load estimated from the driving conditions, such as the engine speed and the throttle opening angle. If the average engine load value ratio is below the threshold value, the ecm determines that the intake air volume is low, and if the average engine load value ratio is above the threshold value, the ecm determines that the intake air volume is high.
If this is detected in 2 consecutive driving cycles, the mil is illuminated and a dtc is set.

Confirmation driving pattern
Hint:
Performing this confirmation pattern will activate the mass air flow performance monitor.
Inspection procedure
Hint:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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.
Hint:
If any dtcs other than p0101 are output, troubleshoot those
dtcs first.
Ok:
No leakage from air induction system.
Ok:
Pcv hose is connected correctly and is not damaged.
Replace mass air flow meter
Removal
Hint:
Use the same procedures for the rh side and lh side.
The procedures listed below are for the lh side.
Remove roof rack support sub-assembly center
Remove the 4 roof carrier caps and roof rack
support center.
Remove roof rack bar front
Remove the 4 screws ...
Fail-safe chart
If a problem occurs in the electric power steering system, the
p/s warning light will come on in the combination meter and
steering power assist will be stopped, fixed at a particular
point, or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.
Hint:
The amount of power assist may be decreased ...
