DTC P1191: Intake Air Duct Air Leak: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine during a given time. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the MAF sensor information to monitor Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) flow rate. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high load situation, while a small quantity of air indicates deceleration or idle. The ECM has the ability to determine an intake leak by using the MAF sensor and the EGR control pressure sensor.
