P1102 INFINITI Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

Possible causes
– Faulty mass air flow sensor
– Dirty mass air flow sensor
– Dirty mass air filter
– Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
– Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection
– Intake air leaks
Tech description
Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.
When is the obd code mean?
A voltage from the sensor is constantly approx. 1.0V when engine is running.
Symptoms
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
– Engine stall
– Engine running rough
– Excessive fuel consumption
– Excessive smoke
P1102 INFINITI OBD Code Description

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It measures the intake flow rate by measuring a part of the entire intake flow. It consists of a hot film that is supplied with electric current from the Engine Control Module (ECM).

The temperature of the hot film is controlled by the ECM acertain amount. The heat generated by the hot film is reduced as the intake air flows around it. The more air, the greater the heat loss. Therefore, the ECM must supply more electric current to maintain the temperature of the hot film as air flow increases. The ECM detects the air flow by means of this current change.
