What Does P0100 Mean on Your 2024 Toyota RAV4?
A P0100 code on your 2024 Toyota RAV4 indicates the ECM has detected a malfunction in the mass air flow (MAF) sensor circuit. On a new RAV4, this is uncommon and likely points to a factory connection issue or defective component.
Your 5th-generation RAV4 is available with a 2.5L four-cylinder, 2.5L hybrid, or 2.5L plug-in hybrid (Prime) powertrain. All use the MAF sensor for precise air measurement.
