P0102 Mass air flow sensor signal too low

By: · Updated:

P0102 means: Mass air flow sensor signal too low. The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures how much air goes into the engine. Drive gently and have the car checked soon. The repair usually costs about €60–250 in Estonia. The most common cause: connector is loose or corroded.

What it means

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures how much air goes into the engine. The sensor voltage is too low. Usually a wire is broken or a connector is loose.

What could be wrong

  1. 1Connector is loose or corroded
  2. 2Wire is broken
  3. 3MAF sensor has failed

What you can check yourself

Check the connector next to the air filter box. Is it clipped on properly? You can do the simpler checks yourself.

How we fix it

  1. We measure the sensor supply and signal
  2. We repair the wire or connector
  3. We replace the MAF sensor

Standard SAE description: Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input
