erased the faults, but they come back at once.

have done some search on the web, and found 2 thing it can be.

1- the abs controll unit
2- MAF

tried to disconnect the maf while running, but no change in how the engine run....

i had my abs unit repaired for this by po before i bought the car. im not sure if its a diy or even if there is a way to check. i would remove it and send it out to be tested.

It's pretty clear from those codes that the MAF is the issue.

ABS control unit is still communicating and the only fault is that it is getting bad info from the ECU. TCU is complaining about the same thing. ECU says, the problem is bad info from the MAF.
