Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Any water that enters the air intake system that reaches the MAF sensor could cause this DTC to set. The water rapidly cools the hot sensing elements in the sensor causing a false indication of excessive air flow. Inspect the following areas for evidence of water intrusion:
1. The air induction system.
2. The secondary air injection system (AIR) if equipped.
A poor connection in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the MAF sensor can cause a DTC P0103 to set.

Condition may be related to aftermarket accessories. If the condition is intermittent, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 3.4L AZTEK & RENDEZVOUS article.
