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 2009 Mercury Mountaineer, 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Mercury Mariner, 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2009 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC 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 air flow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key on, engine running (KOER) the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory DTC is stored.
Possible Causes: 
  • Poor continuity through the MAF sensor connectors
  • Poor continuity through the MAF sensor harness
  • 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.
