What to do if you get code p0101 on your MAF sensor?
I cleared the code and started and drove the vehicle three times since, and the problem appears to be resolved. tl;dr: If you get code P0101 in your Altima, go spend $5 on a can of MAF cleaner before replacing the sensor. I get that code every so often, I just clear it.
What does the Check Engine Light code p0101 mean?
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. Check engine light code P0101 is set when the measurement of air entering the engine by the mass air flow sensor is outside of the manufacturer’s specified range.
When to replace a mass air flow sensor?
Cleaning may work, but replacement of the MAF sensor and an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) air filter are a sure fix. Cars over Ten Years Old – Over time, the rubber hoses can become brittle, cracking where it should flex. Do a thorough check on all rubber hoses, from vacuum lines to the intake tube.
What should I use to clean my MAF sensor?
Use mass air flow sensor cleaner (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY OTHER KIND OF CLEANER) to clean out the MAF sensor. Do this by spraying each side of the MAF sensor for 3-5 seconds, waiting 10 seconds, and then spraying it again for 3-5 seconds.

What does p0101 mean on a Dodge Sprinter?
With the Dodge Sprinter, P0101 means the the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor has a Range/Performance problem. We will cover exactly what that means and potential fixes for it below. It should be considered a high priority to fix, as the MAF sensor not reading properly can really make an impact on the performance of the vehicle.

What causes DTC to set on LMM p0101?
A inaccurate MAF sensor, an intake air flow restriction or any unmetered air that enters the engine downstream of the MAF sensor may cause this DTC to set. An aftermarket exhaust system may reduce engine back-pressure excessively and cause this DTC to set.
What is the error code on the MAF sensor?
I checked the error code using OBD2, and the code was P0101. I bought MAF sensor cleaner and a new air filter (the old air filter was very dirty). After cleaning the MAF sensor, I replaced a new air filer.
