Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2003 Pontiac Bonneville, 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2003 Chevrolet Impala, and 2003 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspect the air induction system for any water intrusion. The water rapidly cools the hot sensing elements in the sensor causing a false indication of excessive air flow. Any water that reaches the MAF sensor will skew the sensor and may cause this DTC to set.
A poor connection in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the MAF sensor may cause this DTC to set.

If the problem is intermittent, See INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
