DTC P1101: - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Out Of Self-Test Range

2009 Ford RV Cutaway 6.8 SSECTION DTC P1101: - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Out Of Self-Test Range
DTC P1101: - MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR OUT OF SELF-TEST RANGE

Description:  The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for an out of range air flow (or voltage) input. If, during ignition on engine off, the air flow voltage signal is greater than 0.27 volt the test fails. Likewise, if, during ignition on engine running, the air flow voltage signal is not within 0.46 volt to 2.44 volts, the test fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • Low battery charge
  • MAF sensor partially connected
  • MAF sensor contamination
  • PWR GND open to the MAF sensor
  • MAF RTN circuit open to PCM
  • Damaged MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  A MAF PID reading greater than 0.27 volt (KOEO) or a MAF PID reading outside the 0.46 volt to 2.44 volts range (KOER) indicates a hard fault.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
