Mass or Volume Air Flow A Circuit Range/Performance - Air Flow Too High
MAF sensor A reads air flow higher than physically expected — sensor drift to high or signal noise. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
