P010A Code - Mass Air Flow error

[Sam Alldridge]

Good day!

My CLS has thrown up an engine light. I've checked the OBD and she is showing P010A.
Now, I understand that this is something to do with the MAF (voltage low/high)...but does anybody know what the cause would be?
Do I need to change my air filters? Do I need to change the sensor itself?

Any advice appreciated

TIA

Hey Sam,

Often the mass air flow sensor is located before the air filter in the system, fairly close to the actual air intake (worth checking as yours may differ). Usually rectified by changing the MAF sensor itself as it's often easily accessible and relatively low cost. Changing air filters won't do any harm. Hope this helps
