P0103

Read the instructions below then start the fault diagnostic procedure.

Symptom: CHECK ENGINE goes on after two driving cycles. Engine speed drops slower than normal when accelerator pedal is released. Misfiring can occur before trouble code is generated.

P0103

Fault symptoms

•	CHECK ENGINE goes on after two driving cycles.

•	Engine speed drops slower than normal when accelerator pedal is released.

•	Misfiring can occur before trouble code is generated.

Conditions

The following conditions apply for this DTC:

•	Crankshaft rotating and main relay voltage exceeding 10V.

•	Frequency higher than 15 kHz for more than 0.5 s.

Diagnostic help

The mass air flow sensor is sending pulses to the control module but the frequency is too high. Consequently, the sensor is powered and is in contact with the control module input. The trouble code indicates an internal fault in the sensor.

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault are:

•	Mass air flow sensor value, unit g/s.

•	Air mass deviation from calculated, unit %.

Checking the wiring

Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
