What to look for if your car is overheating?
What Are Signs of an Overheating Engine?
- Steam (often looking like smoke) coming from the front of the vehicle under the hood.
- The engine temperature gauge in the dashboard or driver console spiking to “H” or moving into the red area of the gauge.
How does a p0102 code trigger the Check Engine light?
How does a P0102 code trigger the check engine light? The engine light will come on if the following concern is present: The Mass Air Flow Sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (computer), for low voltage (which translates to low air flow) through the Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM).
What does p0102 mean on the MAF sensor?
The Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. When code P0102 is set, there is a low voltage output to the ECM, PCM, or ECU depending on your car type (check your owner’s manual for your specific car). P0102 Symptoms
Are there any error codes similar to p0100?
Error codes P0100, P0101, P0103 and P0104 are all very similar and could also be triggered in the event of an air leak or MAF sensor damage.
Why does my car have a low air flow code?
The air filter may be very dirty causing the sensor to show low air flow voltage due to air flow restriction. How serious is the P0102 code? The P0102 code will generally not prevent the car from driving.
What does a p0102 error code on a car mean?
It measures both the density and volume of air passing through your intake and into the engine. A P0102 error code means that there’s insufficient air traveling through your air filter. Most sensors aren’t able to measure the exact airflow, but take a small portion of the intake air and use a calculation to arrive at the total volume and density.

How to tell if your car has a trouble code?
Your first indication of this trouble code is typically your Check Engine light. However, a rough idle or running of your engine could also be caused by low airflow. Look for black smoke coming out of your tailpipe or frequent stalling as other signs that your engine isn’t receiving enough oxygen.
