Default Problem getting DTC from MAF

I disconnected the MAF sensor wire, started the car but no DTC. I even tried driving a few miles but still no DTC. I then shut off the car and reconnected to no avail. Anyone have any hints as to how I can get a DTC by removing the MAF sensor wire (on top of MAF housing)? Thanks!

Default I should see the check engine light on or something when the car is running correct?

No lights. I don't have a VAG. MAF has been working fine, but I've got 68K miles. Trying to sneak in that 70,000 replacement from Audi.

Trying to work on getting them now. Even tried boosting relatively hard, but nothing.
