P0101 means the measured airflow did not match the range or performance expected by the control module. Check the intake duct for gaps or loose clamps and make sure the air filter housing is seated correctly.

Do not touch the sensing element or spray it with an unapproved cleaner. Compare scan data and inspect the circuit before deciding that the sensor itself has failed.
