Dave,

Could be the same fault experienced by our new member HERE Check the error the ECU is giving you by counting the blinks.

You will need to take it to the dealer for sensor replacement just like Brad has done.

$54 sensor and $90 labour. However this fault has been covered by an official recall (check the recall thread) but at that time in 2003, it only affected series I.

Further details in THIS thread.

Yes I looked up that recall & my Exy is outside that VIN range.
I reset the code & the light has gone out.
If there was a problem wouldn't the error code reoccur?

Re: Malfunction Indicator (Dashboard Engine Warning Light)


I got the engine warning light come on today.
I was trying the Sunny Corner Trek with Alex today and there are some pretty steep rock sections on the trail. I got to the top of one of them and stopped for a quick break. Upon starting the warning light came on and immediately the idle dropped to around 500rpm, a bit low and i got a bit of shuddering at that speed so i switched off. Was quite a way from main rd so had to get back. I got back but with a considerable loss of power and the engine was running very rough which made driving a little jerky. When not in gear the idle was all over the place sometimes stayed at 2000rpm and all the way down to 500rpm. My brother-in-law thought that in the fault mode it limits rpm, this sortof makes sense because i found it drove better in a higher gear at lower rev's despite the obvious reduction in power by doing this.

Got back to Katoomba with a bit of hesitation from the car and i got 0102 for the code. Mass Air Flow Circuit Low input. Checked the air filter and was reasonable. Havn't checked what the MAS looks like yet. I reset the fault and the car seems to be running as usual now. Not sure why the fault was triggered yet? Wait and see if it may come back?

P0102 means that your MAF sensor is either disconnected, something wrong with the wiring of it at the harness or the most likely cause, being contaminated. Check the internal chamber and see if there is any oil residue on the MAF sensor itself.

I disconnected it and reconnected, but i have not taken the MAF sensor out to inspect it yet. I have seen some after-market ones on ebay for around $100. Not sure what genuine ones cost?
The light hasn't come back on yet.
It is good that you can actually check and reset faults yourself without the need of specialised equipment.

Re: Malfunction Indicator (Dashboard Engine Warning Light)


I wouldnt look at getting a genuine one if required, I think I was quoted around 300 bucks for sensor alone, and 580 bucks for MAF housing.
Got one (sensor and housing complete) via wreckers hotline, posted from Melbourne, for 90 bucks.
You will need a torx bit to take the MAF sensor out if required, but sounds like you had a loose connection at the housing so hopefully its fixed emoticon I would give it a clean with dedicated MAF Cleaner if an error code comes back, before considering buying another sensor.
