MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The MAF meter is a sensor that measures the amount of air flowing through the throttle valve. The ECM uses this information to determine the fuel injection time and to provide an appropriate air-fuel ratio.
Inside the MAF meter, there is a heated platinum wire which is exposed to the flow of intake air. By applying a specific electrical current to the wire, the ECM heats it to a specific temperature. The flow of incoming air cools both the wire and an internal thermistor, changing their resistance. To maintain a constant current value, the ECM varies the voltage applied to these components of the MAF meter. The voltage level is proportional to the air flow through the sensor, and the ECM uses it to calculate the intake air volume.
If there is a defect in the sensor, or an open or short in the circuit, the voltage level deviates from the normal operating range. The ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the MAF meter and sets the DTC.
Example: If the voltage is more than 2.2 V, or less than 0.73 V while idling, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the MAF meter and sets the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0101)
Result
HINT: If any DTCs other than P0101 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Diagnosis Circuit
DESCRIPTION
DTC output mode is set by connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
DTCs are displayed by blinking the SRS warning light.
HINT:
When each warning light stays blinking, a ground short in the
wiring of terminal TC of the DLC3 or an
internal ground short in each ECU is ...
How to proceed with
troubleshooting
HINT:
Use the following procedures to troubleshoot the dynamic
laser cruise control system.

Checking monitor status
The purpose of the monitor result (mode 06) is to allow
access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests
of specific components/systems that are not continuously
monitored. Examples are catalyst, evaporative emission
(EVAP) and thermostat.
The monitor result allows the OBD II sc ...
