Default DTC 16487 -- Bad MAF or wiring harness?

Found the following DTC:

16487 - MAF Sensor (G70): Signal too High
35-10 - - - Intermittent

Search seems to indicate either a bad MAF or problems with the wiring harness connected to the MAF. Anyone have any input?

Thanks,
-Dave Pramanik

Default I got this one yesterday

It happened when my TBB popped off the throttle body...check out the TBB

If you have VAG you can plot MAF vs RPM and see what the sensor is doing

What should I expect to see in the MAF vs RPM plot and what are normal MAF values?

Default Depends

If you are chipped you should be seeing like 250 g/s +/-

Also when you plot the vag data you should see the MAF value climbing steady with the RPM value

I have seen it appear choppy (looks like a staircase on a line graph)

Also, FWIW probably isn't the wiring harness though you could check it out. Usually the car will throw a short to ground dtc for sensors it can't detect.

Default What would values above the number you specified indicate?

Say 270 - 275 g/s?

Default hmm

First and formeost your car is faster than mine lol

Depending on the mods you have you probably shouldn't be seeing over 270 on K03's (unless the weather is real cold where you're at)

What kind of mods do you have ?
