DTC Troubleshooting: P0103

DTC P0103 : MAF Sensor Circuit High Voltage

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information How To Troubleshoot The Fuel And Emissions Systems.

1. Problem verification:

Problem verification:
-1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.

-2. Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is about 202 g/s, or 4.89 V or more indicated?
-YES- The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
-NO- Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM.

2. Open wire check (VGM line):

Open wire check (VGM line)
-1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

-2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

-3. Disconnect the following connectors.





-4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.









Is there continuity?
-YES- The VGM wire is OK. Go to step 3.
-NO- Repair an open in the VGM wire between the ECM/PCM (B43) and the MAF sensor/IAT sensor, then do the repair verification.

3. ECM/PCM internal circuit check:

ECM/PCM internal circuit check
-1. Reconnect the following connector.





-2. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.









-3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

-4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

-5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0103 indicated?
-YES- Update the ECM/PCM ECM/PCM Update if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM Service and Repair, then do the repair verification.
-NO- The ECM/PCM internal circuit is OK. Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor Service and Repair, then do the repair verification.

Repair verification:

-1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

-2. Reconnect all connectors.

-3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

-4. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS How To Troubleshoot The Fuel And Emissions Systems.

-5. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure

-6. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0103 indicated?
-YES- Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM Service and Repair, then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
-NO- Troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM Service and Repair. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
