Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ). If DTC P1128, P1129, P2228, and/or P2229 are stored at the same time as DTC P0101, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then recheck for DTC P0101.
- Check for poor connections or damage to these parts: PCV hose Intake air tube Air cleaner Purge (PCS) line Brake booster Brake booster hose Are the parts OK? YES -Go to step 2. NO -Repair or replace the damaged part(s), then go to step 17 .
- Check for damage or looseness at the intake air tube in the air cleaner. Is it OK? YES -Go to step 3. NO -Reconnect or replace the intake air tube, then go to step 15 .
- Check for a dirty air cleaner element. Is it dirty? YES -Replace the air cleaner element (see «AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT»(ref-290823-S09685521252008072200000) ), then go to step 15 . NO -Go to step 4.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is there about 0.2 gm/s or O.S V? YES -Go to step 7. NO -Go to step 13 .
- Start the engine.
- Vary the engine speed between 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm.
- Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Does the reading change? YES -Go to step 10. NO -Go to step 13 .
- Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters: ENGINE SPEED VSS MAP SENSOR MAF SENSOR
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the screen indicate FAILED? YES -Go to step 13. NO -If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 11 and recheck.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see «MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-355245-S33598592802010012100000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-290807-S02808252682008072200000) ).
- Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters: ENGINE SPEED VSS MAP SENSOR MAF SENSOR
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0101 indicated? YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . NO -Go to step 20.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the screen Indicate PASSED? YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 19 , go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting. NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF sensor/IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 18 .
