Circuit Description
Note: The following applies to the intake airflow system performance diagnostic that is used in this supercharged engine:
• When referring to the supercharger intake manifold models, the plenum volume between the throttle body and the supercharger is considered to be the intake manifold. • When referring to engine pumping, the supercharger and the intercooler plenum are considered to be part of the engine. • The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) estimates are used in the engine air flow estimates. Air flow into the intake system must be the same as the air flow out of the intake system, the Intake Airflow Rationality Diagnostics (IFRD) calculates air
flowing out of the engine based on MAP estimates, volumetric efficiency, and RPM.
The intake airflow system performance diagnostic provides the within-range rationality check for the mass air flow (MAF), supercharger inlet absolute pressure (SCIAP), MAP, by-pass valve stuck, and the throttle position (TP) sensors. This is an explicit model-based diagnostic containing 4 separate models for the intake system.
| • | The throttle model describes the flow through the throttle body and is used to estimate the MAF through the throttle body as a function of barometric pressure (BARO), throttle position, intake air temperature (IAT), and estimated SCIAP. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the MAF Performance Test parameter. |
| • | The first supercharger intake manifold model describes the pressure at the supercharger intake manifold and is used to estimate SCIAP as a function of the MAF into the intake manifold from the throttle body and the MAF out of the intake manifold caused by engine pumping. The flow into the supercharger intake manifold from the throttle uses the MAF estimate calculated from the above throttle model. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the MAP Performance Test 1 parameter. |
| • | The second supercharger intake manifold model is identical to the first supercharger intake manifold model except that the MAF sensor measurement is used instead of the throttle model estimate for the throttle air input. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the MAP Performance Test 2 parameter. |
| • | A fourth model is created from the combination and additional calculations of the throttle model and the first supercharger intake manifold model. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the TP Performance Test parameter. |
| • | In addition 5 new models have been added, these models run in the background. |
The estimates of MAF, SCIAP, and TP that are obtained from this system of models and calculations are then compared to the actual measured values from the MAF, SCIAP, and the TP sensors and to each other to determine the appropriate DTC to fail. The following table illustrates the possible failure combinations and the resulting DTC or DTCs.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0106 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0106 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Any condition that can cause the MAF, MAP, SC inlet pressure, and TP sensors to be shifted in value or any condition that may cause the by-pass valve to stick, at the same time may cause this DTC to set. |
| • | A slight to moderate resistance of 20-50 ohms on the 5-volt reference or low reference circuits may cause this DTC to set. |
Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning in the Preface section.
| • | Road test the vehicle and verify that the MAF sensor calculated g/s and the actual MAF g/s parameters are near or equal to each other. |
| • | A steady or intermittent high resistance of 15 ohms or more on the 5-volt reference circuit will cause the MAP sensor values to be skewed. |
| • | A skewed or stuck ECT, MAF/IAT, or IAT sensor 2 will cause the calculated models to be inaccurate and may cause this DTC to run when it should not. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance. |
