Code No. P0102: Air flow Sensor Circuit Low Input

OPERATION

Power is supplied by the engine control relay (terminal No. 3) to the air flow sensor (terminal No. 2), and the air flow sensor (terminal No. 4) is earthed through the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 96).
The air flow sensor (terminal No. 3) outputs a sensor signal, which is input into the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> (terminal No. 63).

FUNCTION

The air flow sensor outputs pulse signal that varies in accordance with the intake air volume.
In response to the signal, the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> controls exhaust gas recirculation control, etc.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

3 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in "ON" position.

Judgment Criterion

The air flow sensor output voltage is 0.2 V or less for 2 second.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Failed air flow sensor
Short circuit in air flow sensor circuit or loose connector contact
Failed engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
