Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC PRIORITY 

    If DTC P0101 is displayed with other DTC, first perform the trouble diagnosis for other DTC.

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Perform diagnosis of applicable. Refer to DTC Index .

    NO

    GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM 

    Check the following for connection.

    • Air duct
    • Vacuum hoses
    • Intake air passage between air duct and intake manifold

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 3.

    NO

    Reconnect the parts.

  3. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR POWER SUPPLY 
    1. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between MAF sensor harness connector and ground.
