Check engine light, rough idle, poor acceleration, black smoke from exhaust. MAF sensor code. This fault code is stored when the engine control unit detects a specific fault condition. Common causes include sensor failures, wiring faults, and component wear. Always read additional fault codes before replacing parts — multiple codes together provide a clearer diagnosis. Clear the code after repair and test drive to confirm the fault does not return.

P0102 = MAF sensor reading too low. Steps: 1) Unplug MAF sensor and start engine — if runs better unplugged, sensor is bad. 2) Clean MAF sensor with MAF cleaner spray. 3) Check for air leaks after the MAF sensor (intake tract). 4) Check wiring connector for corrosion. 5) Replace MAF sensor if cleaning fails. MAF sensors: $30-150. Do NOT clean with carb cleaner — damages the sensing element. Use only dedicated MAF cleaner.
