Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Intermittent
¿Qué significa esto?
Code P0104 means the MAF sensor signal is cutting in and out intermittently. The PCM has detected erratic or unstable voltage readings from the MAF circuit.
Aviso legal: Este código de diagnóstico forma parte del sistema OBD2 estándar y puede aplicarse a los modelos Mercedes-benz A-class fabricados de 1996 a 2026. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que la presencia de este código específico depende de la configuración del motor de su vehículo, las opciones y el año de producción.

Arnés de cableado dañado o roto
Conector eléctrico corroído o suelto
Sensor MAF sucio o contaminado
Sensor de flujo de masa de aire (MAF) defectuoso
Síntomas a tener en cuenta
- La luz de Check Engine está encendida
- Ralentí irregular o inestable
- RPM del motor fluctuante
- Titubeo o tropiezo al acelerar
- El motor se apaga inesperadamente
Cómo Diagnosticar
Soluciones Comunes
Clean the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: Contamination from dirt, oil vapor, or debris on the hot wire or film element can cause erratic readings. Use only a specialized MAF sensor cleaner (never carburetor or brake cleaner) and allow it to air dry completely before reinstallation.
Repair or Replace Damaged Wiring or Connector: If the visual inspection or electrical testing reveals damaged, corroded, or loose wiring/terminals at the MAF sensor connector or in the harness, these components must be repaired or replaced. Ensure proper crimping and use heat-shrink tubing for durable, weather-resistant repairs.
Replace the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: If cleaning and wiring checks do not resolve the intermittent issue, and live data continues to show erratic or implausible readings, the MAF sensor itself is likely faulty internally. Always use a high-quality, OEM-equivalent replacement part.
Repair Post-MAF Vacuum Leaks: If a vacuum leak was identified during diagnostics, repairing it is critical. This may involve replacing cracked vacuum hoses, intake manifold gaskets, PCV valves, or other components of the intake system.
