DTC P1100: Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Intermittent

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Mercury Mariner, 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, 2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1100 - MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT

Description:  The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for sudden voltage (or airflow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in ignition ON, engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or airflow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory DTC is stored.
Possible Causes: 
  • Incorrect continuity through the MAF sensor harness or connector
  • Intermittent open or short inside the MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  While accessing the MAF PID on the scan tool, lightly tap on the MAF sensor or wiggle the MAF sensor connector and harness. If the MAF PID suddenly changes below 0.23 volt or above 4.60 volts, an intermittent fault is indicated.
