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)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Turn the tester on.
- Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
- Read the DTCs.
Result
HINT: If any DTCs other than P0101 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Installation
1. Install torque converter clutch assembly
(a) Install the torque converter clutch to the automatic
transaxle.
(b) Using vernier calipers and a straight edge, measure
the dimension "A" between the transaxle fitting part
of the engine and the converter fitting part of the

Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, Oil Control Valve
(OCV) and VVT controller.
The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal
regulates the oil
pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is perform ...
Removal
HINT:

1. REMOVE SLIDE DOOR
Remove the rear door scuff plate (See page IR-7).
Remove the back door scuff plate (See page ED-
214).
Remove the quarter trim panel (See page IR-9).
