DTC P0102 Mass Air Flow Circuit Low InputDESCRIPTION
The Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAFS) is located between the air cleaner assembly and the throttle body. The MAFS uses a hot film type sensing element to measure the mass of intake air entering the engine. This hot film type airflow sensor consists of a hot film sensor, housing and metering ducts. Mass airflow rate is measured by detection of heat transfer from a hot film probe. The change in airflow rate causes change in the amount of heat being transferred from the hot film probe surface to the air. A large amount of intake air represents acceleration or high load conditions while a small amount of intake air represents deceleration or idle. The mass of intake air should increase at acceleration and be stable during constant engine speed. The ECM uses this information to determine the injection duration and ignition timing for the desired air/fuel ratio.
