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


Mass Air Flow Circuit. High Input.


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.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.


Enable criteria:


- Crankshaft rotating. Main relay voltage above 10V.


Fault criteria:


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


Dependents:


- None.


System reaction to a fault:


- Fuel adaptation reset. Intake pressure and intake air temperature used as substitute values.


OK report:


- 60 s has past since start. Fault criteria for P0100, P0102 or P0103 not fulfilled.

- Conditions for multiplicative fuel adaptation fulfilled. Mass air flow sensor value corresponds with both the air mass flow calculated from intake manifold pressure and the air mass flow calculated from throttle position.


Fault handling: (See section Fault handling III, other emission-related components and functions for more information.)


- Type III.


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:


Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.

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.
