    Is DTC P0100 indicated?

    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. Determine possible failure area (FGP line, others)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The VCC2 wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the VCC2 wire between the PCM (E77) and MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1.

  5. Open wire check (SG2 line)

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

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 4P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector E (80P): disconnected
    Test point 1 MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1 4P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
    Test point 2 PCM connector E (80P) No. 78

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The SG2 wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the SG2 wire between the PCM (E78) and MAF sensor/IAT sensor 1.

  6. Shorted wire check (FGP line)

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

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
