P0103
Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor A Circuit High
What it means
P0103 means Mass or Volume Air Flow Sensor A Circuit High.
Where it lives
For P0103, the circuit described runs through the sensor. The description of P0103 reports a fault at the sensor.
Check these first
- A short to voltage on the sensor A signal wire
- A mass air flow sensor A that is contaminated and stuck high
- A failed mass air flow sensor A
- An incorrect sensor A installed
- A faulty ECM input for sensor A
What to do next
- Compare the sensor A reading to calculated load
- Inspect the sensor A wiring for a short to voltage
- Check the air filter for a restriction
- Clean or replace mass air flow sensor A
- Verify the ECM if the signal stays high
- Clear the code and retest
