P0102 — Mass air flow sensor: signal too low

Severity: Attenzione Can you drive? Sì, no known limitation Produttore: Tutti makes (OBD-II standard)
MeaningThe air flow sensor reports a Valore below the expected minimum. The Motore keeps running on a substitute estimate, which is where the rising consumption and falling Potenza come Da.
FamilyPowertrain (P)

Typical symptoms

Reduced Potenza
Higher fuel consumption
Unstable idle
Black smoke on diesels
Motore Attenzione light on

Common causes

Dirty oppure badly fitted air Filtra
False air leak downstream di the sensor
MAF fouled with oil, typical di oiled sport Filtri
Aged sensor out di calibration
Broken wiring

What a do

Filtra and hoses first: a leak after the MAF gives exactly this code and costs a clamp. Then compare measured air flow against expected at full load: if it stays low with everything else in order, the sensor is worn out.
