OBD-II TROUBLE CODE GUIDE

P0102: Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input

The airflow-sensor signal is lower than the engine computer expects for the operating conditions.

What P0102 means

The airflow-sensor signal is lower than the engine computer expects for the operating conditions.

Common possible causes

  • Disconnected or contaminated mass airflow sensor
  • Open, shorted, or damaged sensor wiring
  • Restricted intake or an airflow sensor requiring testing

What to check first

Record all stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data before clearing anything. Inspect relevant wiring, connectors, hoses, fluid levels, and obvious damage. Use vehicle-specific service information and test the affected system before purchasing parts.

A code is not a parts order. Several faults can create the same code, and replacing the component named in a code description may not correct the underlying problem.
