What kind of MAF does a GMC 2500 have?

2006 GMC 2500 HD P0101 Mass ari flow sensor (MAF) perform… Get P0101 MAV (Mass Airflow) code in a 2006 GMC 2500HD 6.6 Duramax w/122000klm. Also have had loss of power a few times when pulling a 5th wheel trailer and tank falls below 1/4 full.

What are the symptoms of a bad MAF sensor?

The symptoms of a bad mass air flow sensor include a car that is difficult to start, bad fuel economy, a rough idle, lack of power especially when accelerating and sometimes a fuel smell from the exhaust fumes. A properly functioning MAF sensor is vital for an engine to run efficiently.

What does the MAF sensor on a Chevy Silverado mean?

Chevy Silverado P0102: MAF Sensor – Circuit Low. P0102 is a very common trouble code in the Chevy Silverado. It means the the Mass Air Flow (MAF) circuit is low, and that it is not performing within its specified operating range.

How does the MAF sensor work on an air intake?

The MAF sensor uses an electrical wire to make a determination as to the amount of air that is being permitted to enter the air intake system. This information is sent through this wire and delivered to the powertrain control module (PCM) as a voltage signal.

The symptoms of a bad mass air flow sensor include a car that is difficult to start, bad fuel economy, a rough idle, lack of power especially when accelerating and sometimes a fuel smell from the exhaust fumes. A properly functioning MAF sensor is vital for an engine to run efficiently.

What kind of air flow sensor do I need for my MAF?

Depending on the year and make of the vehicle, you may find different types of mass air flow sensors, from the old-style vane air flow meter to the modern era hot-wire mass air flow meter. Since hot-wire technology is the most widely used today, we’ll assume that your MAF is using that design.

What does the code p0102 mean on a MAF sensor?

Mass Airflow (MAF) Circuit Low Voltage Input The code P0102 code is often associated with P0100, P0101, P0103 or P0104 trouble codes as they are closely related. What the P0102 code means P0102 is the general code for a problem with the Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor having a low voltage output to the Engine Control Unit (ECU).

What is the trouble code for mass airflow?

P0102 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Mass Airflow (MAF) Circuit Low Voltage Input”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic.
