Can a mass air flow sensor cause a check engine light?
If there is an issue with the MAF sensor, the check engine light will turn on. The engine cannot run if it does not take in the right levels of air and fuel. So, if the check engine light is on the dashboard, the problem could be from the mass airflow sensor.
Can a MAF sensor be bad without check engine light?
Sometimes a mass airflow sensor can start to fail and even trigger engine error codes such as P0101 and P0102, without triggering a check engine light. Most of the time, the MAF sensor itself will not fail completely, and instead, will just stop sending an accurate air flow reading to the ECU.
Can a bad mass air flow sensor trigger a check engine light?
Bad mass air flow sensor with no check engine light? Sometimes a mass airflow sensor can start to fail and even trigger engine error codes such as P0101 and P0102, without triggering a check engine light. There must be a problem with the mass airflow sensor circuit for the check engine light to illuminate.
What happens when I Change my MAF sensor?
When you change a MAF sensor, you need to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes so the computer forgets the learned parameters and resets to the factory parameters. Then it goes into learn mode and may take a little while before it learns all the parameters of the new MAF sensor.
When did the MAF change on my Camry?

What causes a check engine light on an OBD II?
Also consider that an MAF check engine code can be due to a vacuum leak; i.e. unrelated to the MAF sensor. You could try the experiment. As a test, purposely introduce a vacuum leak on an OBD II car with no codes. You’ll likely immediately get a check engine light and a code for the MAF sensor or for the o2 sensor.
