P0101

Mass Air Flow Circuit Range/Performance

The P0101 code indicates that the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is providing data that falls outside the expected range for current engine operations. Since the MAF sensor determines the amount of air entering the engine to calculate fuel delivery, incorrect data leads to a poor air-fuel ratio, causing hesitation and rough running.
