Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Enabling/Set Conditions And Possible Causes - MAF Sent Sensor
MAF (SENT) SENSOR ENABLING CONDITIONS AND FAULT CRITERIA:Β
| DTCS | MONITORING CONDITIONS | FAULT SETTING CRITERIA | POSSIBLE CAUSES |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAF Sensor supply circuit faults (P0100, P0110, P012A)Β . |
|
The PCM detects that the digital MAF sensor supply circuit voltage is out of range low/high. |
|
| MAF Sensor performance fault (P0101)Β . |
|
The PCM detects the MAF sensor feedback is valid, there are no throttle feedback errors, and the vehicle runs rough. |
|
MAF Sensor performance faults (P0111, P012B)Β
.
NOTE:
An 8 hour soak time is necessary before P0111 will reset.Β |
|
The PCM detects that the MAF sensor's internal intake air temperature feedback is out of range compared to other engine temperature sensors. or The PCM detects that the MAF sensor internal turbocharger inlet pressure feedback is out of range compared to other turbocharger pressure sensor values.
NOTE:
The PCM does not set individual low or high faults for the internal temperature or pressure sensors.Β |
|
| MAF Sensor lost communication faults (U060F, U0611, & U068B)Β . |
|
The PCM detects that there is either no SENT communication signal (all 3 DTC's) or a single unexpected SENT communication signal response from the MAF sensor. |
NOTE:
When a single communication DTC is set the possible cause is the MAF sensor. If all three communication DTCs are set together the following possible causes apply.Β

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
