Show models by year and engine (2)
What does this fault code mean?
The mass air flow sensor signal lies within its range but is higher than the engine control module expects. The module compares the signal with the sensor's characteristic, and the code is set when the signal does not follow it.
Possible causes
- Air leak in the intake system
- Loose contact, contact resistance or oxidation in the connections
- Signal wire shorted to voltage
- Damaged mass air flow sensor
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses are intact. The locations are shown in the instruction manual or on the fuse list
- 2Look for an air leak in the engine's intake system, for example at hoses and connections
- 3Check that the connector at the mass air flow sensor is firmly seated and free from looseness, contact resistance and oxidation
- 4Use a multimeter to check that the signal wire from the sensor has no contact with the battery positive
- 5If the fault remains after these checks, have a workshop with diagnostic equipment check the mass air flow sensor
Symptoms you may notice1
- The check engine lamp lights or behaves abnormally
What the fault can affect1
- The engine control module calculates an air mass instead of using the sensor's value
