P0100 Code: 2022 Chevrolet – What It Means & Cost to Fix

2022 Chevrolet Camaro P0100 Code: MAF Sensor Malfunction Guide

P0100 on Your 2022 Chevrolet Camaro

A P0100 code on your 2022 Chevrolet Camaro indicates the ECM has detected a malfunction in the mass air flow (MAF) sensor circuit. Your Camaro uses the 2.0L turbo, 3.6L V6, or 6.2L V8 (SS/ZL1), all performance engines where MAF accuracy matters greatly.

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Rough or unstable idle
  • Hesitation and reduced throttle response
  • Noticeable power loss
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Possible stalling

Common Causes

  1. Contaminated MAF sensor (35%) — Aftermarket oiled air filters are extremely common on Camaros and a leading contamination source.
  2. Wiring or connector issues (22%) — Heat and vibration, especially from the V8.
  3. Faulty MAF sensor (18%) — Internal failure.
  4. Intake air leak (13%) — Aftermarket modifications or turbo piping on the 2.0T.
  5. Air filter contamination (7%) — Oiled filter residue.
  6. ECM issue (5%) — Rare.

Diagnostic Steps

  1. MAF sensor cleaning — Use dedicated MAF cleaner spray. Check for oiled filter contamination first.
  2. Aftermarket intake check — Inspect all connections if modified.
  3. Connector inspection — Check for heat damage and corrosion.
  4. Intake inspection — Check all post-MAF connections.
  5. Scan tool data — Verify MAF readings with GDS2 or compatible scanner.
  6. MAF replacement — If cleaning doesn't resolve it.

Repair Costs

  • MAF cleaning: $10–$15 (DIY)
  • Air filter: $15–$30 (DIY)
  • MAF sensor: $130–$345
  • Intake boot/piping: $80–$220
  • Wiring repair: $90–$275

Warranty

Your 2022 Camaro's 3-year/36,000-mile warranty extends through 2025. The federal emissions warranty covers the MAF sensor for 8 years/80,000 miles through 2030.
