Order of inspection

  1. P0100 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction Medium

    The P0100 code means the mass air flow sensor circuit is not working the way the computer expects. It is the general code for that family: its siblings P0101 through P0104 specify whether the problem is range, low signal, high signal or intermittent. A dirty sensor and intake air leaks explain most cases.
