P0101 — MAF Sensor Range / Performance

P0101 is set when the ECM detects that the mass air flow sensor reading does not correlate with other engine load signals (throttle position, manifold absolute pressure, RPM, engine displacement). Either the MAF is reading too low for the actual engine load, too high, or its output is noisy. P0101 is not a "MAF dead" code — it specifically means the MAF is producing implausible readings rather than no readings at all.
