Mass air flow sensor

Asked by Helina Jul 18, 2019 at 07:11 PM about the 2012 Nissan Maxima SV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My check engine light came on and it was
reading the code for the mass air flow sensor
so I replaced it it was fine for a little while then
the check engine light came on again for the
same code at the same time when I start uphill
or have to give a lot of gas the traction sensor
light pops on and sometimes when I go to give
it gas it hesitate or Boggs especially when the
RPM goes over 2000. Could it possibly be that
the throttle body is dirty? Or air leak? Or does
the computer have to be reset?

What was the actual code? You are correct that an air leak or vacuum leak can also cause this issue.
