WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0102 - MASS OR VOLUME AIR FLOW A CIRCUIT LOW INPUT

Description:  The mass air flow (MAF) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for low air flow (or voltage) input through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during key on engine running (KOER) the air flow (or voltage) changes below a minimum calibrated limit, the test fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • MAF sensor disconnected
  • MAF circuit open to PCM
  • VPWR open to MAF sensor
  • PWR GND open to the MAF sensor
  • MAF RTN circuit open to PCM
  • MAF circuit shorted to GND
  • Intake air leak (near the MAF sensor)
  • A closed throttle indication (throttle position sensor system)
  • Damaged MAF sensor
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  A MAF V PID (MAF PID) reading less than 0.23 volts during KOER indicates a concern.

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.
