2023 Chevrolet Suburban P0100 Code: MAF Sensor Malfunction Guide

P0100 on Your 2023 Chevrolet Suburban

A P0100 code on your 2023 Chevrolet Suburban indicates the ECM has detected a malfunction in the mass air flow (MAF) sensor circuit. Your 12th-generation Suburban uses the 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8, or 3.0L Duramax diesel, and this code is relatively uncommon on a newer vehicle.

  • Reduced power
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Possible stalling

Common Causes

  1. Contaminated MAF sensor (30%) — Dust or debris from driving conditions.

  3. Faulty MAF sensor (20%) — Early failure.
  4. Intake assembly issue (12%) — Loose boot or clamp.
