Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0102 MAF Sensor Circuit Low Frequency
060R200052
Circuit Description
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of
air which passes through it into the engine during a given
time. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the
mass air flow information to monitor engine operating
conditions for fuel delivery calculations. 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 MAF sensor produces a frequency signal which can
be monitored using a Tech 2. The frequency will vary
within a range of around 4 to 7g/s at idle to around 25 to 40
g/s at maximum engine load. DTC P0102 will be set if the
signal from the MAF sensor is below the possible range of
a normally operating MAF sensor.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

The engine is running above 500 RPM for more than
10 seconds.

System voltage is above 11.5 volts.

MAF signal frequency is below 1.6g/s for a total of
50-percent of the last 1000 samples monitored. A
sample is taken every cylinder event.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected fault.

The PCM calculates an air flow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P0102 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P0102 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM ± Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.

Misrouted harness ± Inspect the MAF sensor harness
to ensure that it is not routed too close to high voltage
wires.

Damaged harness ± Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
Tech 2 while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the MAF sensor. A change in the display will
indicate the location of the fault.

Plugged intake air duct or filter element ± A wide-open
throttle acceleration from a stop should cause the
mass air flow displayed on a Tech 2 to increase from

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0300 Engine Misfire Detected
Circuit Description
Misfire is monitored as a function of the combustion
quality (CQ) signals generated from the ION Sensing
Module. Combustion signals represent the degree of
combustion in each cylinder. Misfire is detected when the
combustion signal is below a predetermined value.
This DTC P0300 will determine if a multiple cylinder
misfire is occurring by monitoring the Combustion
Quality.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

None of the following DTCs occur: TP sensor, MAF
sensor, VSS, ECT sensor.

The engine speed is between 600 and 6250 RPM.

The system voltage is between 11 and 16 volts.

The engine temperature sensor (ECT) indicates an
engine temperature between ±7
C (20
F) and 110
C
(230
F).

Throttle angle is steady and throttle changes less than
2% per 125 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected the fault.

If the misfire is severe enough to cause possible
catalyst damage, the PCM will flash the MIL for as long
as the misfire remains at catalyst damaging levels.

The PCM will disable the TCC operation.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P0300 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.

DTC P0300 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
The Tech 2 display ªMisfire Cur. #1 through #6º can be
useful to determine whether the misfire is isolated to a
single cylinder.
Damaged or faulty ignition coil ± Check for cracks or
other damage.

Substitute a known good coil ± Swap the ignition coils
and retest. If the misfire follows the coil, replace the
ignition coil.
If the misfire is random, check for the following conditions:

System grounds ± Ensure all connections are clean
and properly tightened.

MAF ± A mass air flow (MAF) sensor output that
causes the PCM to sense a lower than normal air flow
will cause a lean condition.

Air induction system ± Air leaks into the induction
system which bypass the MAF sensor will cause a lean
condition. Check for disconnected or damaged
vacuum hoses, incorrectly installed or faulty PCV
valve, or for vacuum leaks at the throttle body, EGR
valve, and intake manifold mounting surfaces.

Fuel pressure ± Perform a fuel system pressure test.
A faulty fuel pump, plugged filter, or faulty fuel system
pressure regulator will contribute to a lean condition.

Injector(s) ± Perform an injector coil/balance test to
locate faulty injector(s) contributing to a lean or
flooding condition. In addition to the above test, check
the condition of the injector O-rings.

EGR ± Check for a leaking valve, adapter, or feed pipes
which will contribute to a lean condition or excessive
EGR flow.

Fuel quality ± Using fuel with the wrong octane rating
for the vehicle may cause driveability problems.
Although alcohol-enhanced fuels may raise the octane
rating, the fuel's ability to turn into vapor in cold
temperatures deteriorates. This may affect the cold
driveability of the engine. The Reid Vapor Pressure of
the fuel can also create problems in the fuel system,
especially during the spring and fall when changes by
the refineries may not coincide with changes in the
weather.

Vehicle marshalling ± The transportation of new
vehicles from the assembly plant to the dealership can
involve as many as 60 key cycles within 2 to 3 miles of
driving. This type of operation contributes to the fuel
fouling of the spark plugs and will turn on the MIL with
a P0300 Misfire DTC.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0506 Idle Air Control System Low RPM
060R200057
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine
speed by adjusting the position of the throttle control
valve (DC motor). The throttle motor is a DC motor driven
by one coil. The PCM applies current to the DC motor coil
in position (%) to adjustment the throttle valve into a
passage in the throttle body to air flow. This method
allows highly accurate control of engine speed and quick
response to changes in engine load.
If the PCM detects a condition where too low of an idle
speed is present and the PCM is unable to adjust idle
speed by increasing the throttle position, DTC P0506 will
set, indicating a problem with the idle control system.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No TPS, VSS, ECT, EGR, MAF, MAP, IAT, low voltage,
fuel system, canister purge, injector control, or ignition
control DTCs are set.

MAP is less than 60 kPa.

Canister purge duty cycle is above 10%.

Engine running time is more than 125 seconds.

Vehicle speed is less than 1 mph.

Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 50
C
(122
F).

Ignition voltage is between 9.5 volts and 16.7 volts.

The throttle is closed.

EVAP purge duty cycle more than 10%.

All conditions are met for 10 seconds.

Barometric pressure is more than 74.5 kPa.
Engine speed is more than 100-200 RPM lower than
desired idle based upon coolant temperature.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0506 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM or throttle DC motor ± Inspect
harness connectors for backed-out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.

Damaged harness ± Inspect the wiring harness for
damage.

Restricted air intake system ± Check for a possible
collapsed air intake duct, restricted air filter element, or
foreign objects blocking the air intake system.

Throttle body ± Check for objects blocking the ETC
passage or throttle bore, excessive deposits in the

6E±357
6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
