DTC - General Description

DTC P0103 MASS OR VOLUME AIR FLOW CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect open or short circuits of the air flow sensor.
Judge as NG if out of specification.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION






3. ENABLE CONDITION






4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Always perform the diagnosis continuously.

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

- Abnormality Judgment
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.






Time Needed for Diagnosis: 500 ms
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.

- Normality Judgment
Judge as OK and clear the NG if the continuous time while the following conditions are established is more than the predetermined time.






Time Needed for Diagnosis: Less than 1 second

6. DTC CLEAR CONDITION
- When the OK idling cycle is completed 40 times in a row
- When "Clear Memory" is performed

7. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITIONS
- When the OK driving cycle is completed 3 times in a row
- When "Clear Memory" is performed

8. FAIL SAFE
- Air flow meter: Engine load is normally calculated by manifold pressure and engine speed; however, calculated only by manifold pressure.
- EVAP conc. learning (fuel): Not allowed to learn.
- Knock compensation:
- Knock compensation final advance/delay angle value = knock compensation value + whole learning compensation value + portional learning compensation value
- When normal: Knock compensation value = Fixed at 0° CA
- Failure: Knock compensation value Fixed at 0° CA (When knock: Max. 12° CA retard)
- Whole learning compensation coefficient update not allowed
- Portional learning zone compensation value calculation not allowed
- ISC control: Open loop compensation is set to (1 g (0.04 oz)/s). Stop calculation of throttle sensor temperature compensation (hold previous value)
- Purge control: Not allowed to purge.

9. ECM OPERATION AT DTC SETTING
Memorize the freeze frame data. (For test mode $02)
