P1101 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Out Of Self-Test Range

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.
P1101 - MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR OUT OF SELF-TEST RANGE

Description:  The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for an out of range air flow (or voltage) input. If, during key on engine off (KOEO), the air flow voltage signal is greater than 0.27 volt the test fails. Likewise, if, during key on engine running (KOER), the air flow voltage signal is not within 0.46 volt to 2.44 volts, the test fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • Low battery charge
  • MAF sensor partially connected
  • MAF sensor contamination
  • PWR GND open to the MAF sensor
  • MAF RTN circuit open to PCM
  • Damaged MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  A MAF PID reading greater than 0.27 volt (KOEO) or a MAF PID reading outside the 0.46 volt to 2.44 volts range (KOER) indicates a hard fault.
