DTC P0102

DTC P0102  : MAF Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information .
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC
P0102 MAF Sensor Circuit Low Voltage    

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    MAF Sensor Voltage Less than 0.10 V    

    Data List

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot .

  2. Open wire check (IG1 ACG/IG1(AFM) line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the IG1 ACG/IG1(AFM) wire between No. C21 fuse and MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1.

  3. Determine possible failure area (VGP line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector (female terminals) No. 3:
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there 190-210 kΩ?

    YES 

    Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. Shorted wire check (VGP line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector E (80P)

    -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Test point 1 MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector (female terminals) No. 3:
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH384774Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the VGP wire between the PCM (E61) and MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1.

    NO 

    The VGP wire is not shorted. Go to step 5.

  5. Open wire check (VGP line)

    -1. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Test point 1 MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 5P connector (female terminals) No. 3:
    Test point 2 PCM connector E (80P) No. 61
    GHH384776Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The VGP wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0102 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the VGP wire between the PCM (E61) and MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1.

  6. MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 check

    -1. Substitute a known-good MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 .

    -2. Reconnect all connectors.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -5. Enter the maintenance mode, then start the engine .

    -6. Hold the engine speed at 2000 RPM without load (in P or N).

    -7. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC
    P0102 MAF Sensor Circuit Low Voltage    

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P0102 indicated?

    YES 

    MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0102 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

    NO 

    Replace original MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 .
