Description
The MAF sensor reading is outside the expected range during the PCM self-test. The airflow value does not match expected parameters for the current engine operating conditions during diagnostic testing.
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 between MAF and throttle body
Diagnostic Steps
- Check and replace air filter if dirty
- Inspect intake ductwork for leaks between MAF and throttle body
- Clean MAF sensor with approved cleaner
