P0102 and P0103 here is the definition MAF low input and MAF high input, when you disconnected it you set the high input that is you, Low input well the circuit internally or externally is broken, you ll need a new MAF and that all there is to it, I know I have to say check this and that and not be so direct but use common sense A ECM total blind sided failure and broken circuit can be the cause go to a dealer go to a shop do this and do that Here replace mass air flow sensor its black smoke black smoke is MAF reference voltage less the 1 vlts that is low input full injector pulse width or high input 5vlt reference full injector puilse width

P0103 OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit High Input What does that mean? Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow High (MAF) sensor or circuit. A more technical description would be that the MAF circuit had higher than expected voltage (air flow). Other MAF sensor circuit DTC trouble codes are P0100, P0101, P0102, and P0104. Symptoms You will likely not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness. Causes A code P0103 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad The MAF sensor may be damaged The vehicle computer may be faulty (very rare) Possible Solutions The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures: Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires. Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor. Take the MAF out and clean it using a spray cleaner such as brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. Be gentle with the sensor. Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information) Replace the MAF sensor.
