FOCA Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 These are what the fault codes mean - P0336 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance P1632 Smart Alternator Faults Sensor/Circuit Malfunction P0100 Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction P1260 THEFT Detected, Vehicle Immobilzed I would check it has the correct (silver calcium) type of battery fitted, and look at the alternator 1st, as voltage changes/ fluctuations can sometimes generate spurious fault codes.

STRETCH2009. Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 i went to the garage today cos the light come bk on and the only code that come up is p0100 air mass so dont no if i should get a new one or c if the pin is broke like one of the guys had on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Voltage fluctuations can sometimes generate spurious fault codes - (if the cars' battery voltage is wrong you can get false fault codes from sensors that are really ok, or one code/ fault can cause more fault codes- like a chain reaction) Look at the MAF sensor connector and if no pins are broken, clean the connections and just put it back on, it might just be a loose/ bad connection (and save you paying for a new one) - the actual sensor is delicate and must be cleaned carefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRETCH2009. Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 ok when i do that do i have to go and get the eml turned off b4 i will c if that worked is there anyway of seeing if it is the maf its self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Unless the MAF is obviously phisically broken or damaged its difficolt to tell, you can buy a code reader for about £20 that you can read your codes and reset them as often as you like (F-super, available online - you will need a windows pc with a USB port) Just because the Air mass flow is "out of range" / "circuit malfunction",does not nessesarily mean the MAF itself is faulty Some mechanics disconnect the MAF and drive the car around to see if it makes any difference Do you have a multimeter or can you aquire one?

STRETCH2009. Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 i dont have a multimeter but yes i can buy one and i was thinking of unplugging the maf and driving it to c if it does anything or stays the same what should the volts b on all the pins if i get a multimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
