MAF Sensor In Range But Lower Than Expected

on 2010 Ford Taurus 3.5L V6 EcoBoost · FWD

What this code means

The MAF sensor is providing a signal that is within the valid voltage range but consistently lower than the PCM expects for current conditions. This typically indicates reduced airflow detection.

  • Poor acceleration
  • Rough idle

Common causes

  • Dirty MAF sensor element
  • Restricted air filter
  • Intake air leak downstream of MAF
  • MAF sensor degradation

Diagnostic steps

  1. Clean MAF sensor with approved cleaner
  2. Replace air filter
  3. Inspect intake for leaks
  4. Compare MAF readings to specifications

Repair notes

Clean MAF sensor. Replace air filter. Repair intake leaks.

The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
