Code No. P0102: Air Flow Sensor Circuit Low Input
OPERATION
- Power is supplied by the engine control relay to the air flow sensor, and the air flow sensor is earthed through the engine-ECU connector terminal AFSE.
- The air flow sensor outputs a sensor signal, which is input into the engine-ECU connector terminal AFS.
FUNCTION
- The air flow sensor outputs current that varies in accordance with the intake air volume.
- The engine-ECU uses the amperage output by the air flow sensor and the engine speed signal in order to determine the basic injection duration of the injector.
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT
Check Condition
- More than 3 seconds have passed since the ignition switch was turn to "ON" position.
Judgement Criterion
- Air flow sensor output voltage is less than 0.2 V for 2 seconds.
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
- Fuel control is carried out using throttle opening degree and engine speed in accordance with preset map.
- Engine output is restricted.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Failed air flow sensor
- Open/short circuit or harness damage in air flow sensor circuit or loose connector contact
- Failed engine-ECU
