Can a bad MAF sensor leave a GMC Sierra running rough?

A bad mass airflow sensor can leave your GMC Sierra’s engine running rough, or even inoperable. A MAF sensor measures the density of the air entering the intake manifold.

What kind of MAF does a GMC 2500 have?

2006 GMC 2500 HD P0101 Mass ari flow sensor (MAF) perform… Get P0101 MAV (Mass Airflow) code in a 2006 GMC 2500HD 6.6 Duramax w/122000klm. Also have had loss of power a few times when pulling a 5th wheel trailer and tank falls below 1/4 full.

What happens when the MAF sensor goes bad?

If the MAF sensor has gone bad, it’ll trigger the check engine light and provide an OBDII trouble code. This is great because it helps you narrow down the problem. The two most common trouble codes in relation to the MAF sensor are: There are other codes related to the mass air flow sensor as well, but these are the most common ones.

How does the mass Ari flow sensor work?

Incoming air flows over a wire inside the MAF, which allows it to measure intake air temperature, and therefore air density. The MAF then sends a proportional voltage return signal back to the PCM. The PCM uses this information to determine fuel control.

Why is my mass air flow not working?

I used to get a CEL for the MAF sensor quite often. After cleaning it properly several times with MAF sensor cleaner & re-installing it, I realized one of the mounting screws wasn’t tightening fully, allowing it to seat properly into the plastic air inlet tube where it’s mounted.
