P0103 - Mass Or Volume Air Flow A Circuit High

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Mercury Mountaineer, 2008 Mercury Milan, 2008 Mercury Mariner, and 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0103 - MASS OR VOLUME AIR FLOW A CIRCUIT HIGH

Description:  The mass air flow (MAF) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for high air flow (or voltage) input through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during key on, engine off (KOEO), or key on, engine running (KOER), the air flow (or voltage) changes above a maximum calibrated limit, the test fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • MAF sensor screen is blocked
  • MAF circuit shorted to voltage
  • Damaged MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  A MAF PID (MAF PID) reading greater than 4.6 volts during KOER indicates a hard fault.
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory
