P0101
WatchEngine & fuel systemMass airflow sensor — out of range
The MAF sensor is reading airflow that doesn't match other sensors. Often a dirty filter or sensor.
Common causes
- Dirty MAF sensor (most common)
- Air filter clogged
- Intake leak between MAF and throttle body
First thing to try:
Replace the air filter if it's old; spray MAF cleaner on the wire (engine off).
Can I keep driving?
Usually yes, but don't leave it. The car will drive, though ignoring it tends to turn a cheap fix into an expensive one.
