Investigating the P0100 Code on Your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
A P0100 code on your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee indicates the PCM has detected a malfunction in the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor circuit. The WL-generation Grand Cherokee offers several engine options, and all depend on accurate MAF data. Under full factory warranty, your Jeep dealer should handle this at no cost.
The MAF System on the 2024 Grand Cherokee
The 2024 Grand Cherokee is available with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 (293 hp), 2.0L Hurricane turbo four (270 hp), or other powertrain options. All gasoline engines use a hot-wire MAF sensor. The PCM uses this data for fuel injection, timing, and 8-speed automatic or 8-speed plug-in hybrid transmission management.
Symptoms
- Check engine light on with P0100
- Hesitation during acceleration

- MAF sensor or circuit defect (20-25%) — Manufacturing defect—warranty claim.
- Software calibration (10-15%) — PCM updates via wiTECH.
