Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Codes

The two MAF sensors are integrated directly into the "batwing" assembly and cannot be purchased separately. If the plastic is broken or the gasket fails, the MAF sensors will not read the proper amount of air. P0101: Mass Airflow Sensor. P010A & P010C: Mass or Vol Air Flow A & B Circuit Low Input. 2011.001 & 2013.004: MAF open circuit/short circuit to positive. 2624.001: MAF sensor drift under load limit point 1 exceeded. 2633.001: MAF sensor drift under load limit point 2 exceeded. Air Leak & Lean Mixture Codes Cracks in the assembly can allow unmetered air to enter the engine after the MAF sensor. This unmetered air is registered by the sensors and triggers system lean codes. P0171: System too lean bank one. Swirl Flap Motor Codes (Collateral Damage) The turbocharger inlet gasket on this pipe is prone to failing and not sealing correctly. A failed gasket allows oil to escape the intake and drip down onto the servo motor This oil drip can cause the swirl flap motor to fail
