How do I fix code P1100
-
Check the "Possible Causes" listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.
P1100 Tech Notes
Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with 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.Cost of diagnosing the P1100 code
Labor: 1.0
The cost of diagnosing the P1100 code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary widely across the country, and even within the same city. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.When is the P1100 code detected?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) detected a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor signal above or below calibrated limitP1100 Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P1100 Meaning
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor circuit is monitored by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for sudden voltage (or air flow) input change through the Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM). If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key ON engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1100 is stored.
