MAF Sensor Out of Self-Test Range
2000-2003 Ford Excursion 7.3L V8 Power Stroke Diesel
Description
The Mass Air Flow sensor reading is outside the expected range during the PCM self-test. The sensor value does not match expected parameters for the current engine operating conditions.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Poor idle quality
- Hesitation
- Poor fuel economy
- Black smoke from exhaust
Common Causes
- Dirty MAF sensor
- Vacuum leak after MAF sensor
- Restricted air filter
- Faulty MAF sensor
- Intake air leak
Diagnostic Steps
- Check and replace air filter if dirty
- Inspect intake ductwork for leaks between MAF and throttle body
- Clean MAF sensor element with MAF cleaner spray
- Check for vacuum leaks using smoke test
- Compare MAF readings to known-good values at idle and 2500 RPM
Repair Notes
Clean or replace MAF sensor. Repair any intake air leaks.
