P0103 - Mass Or Volume Air Flow A Circuit High

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Ford RV Cutaway, 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Econoline. 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 circuit shorted to voltage
  • MAF sensor screen is blocked
  • Return circuit open
  • Water intrusion
  • MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  A MAF V PID (MAF PID) reading greater than 4.6 volts during KOER indicates a hard fault.
