P1168

[Bentley]

Hi,

I couldn't get an auto scan to work. Can bus was dropping in and out. It often took two or three reads of each controller to get into it.

The main fault that came up was as below.

I haven't had a chance to get back to the vehicle (was doing it on-site) and was wondering if anybody had come across this fault before - nothing on searches.

Thanks in advance, Paul.

Yup ..........bad MAF or bad wire to MAF or faulty ECU and or blown fuse!

The owner is handy, so I've told him to swap No1 & No2 MAF over and see if the fault swaps.

Hoping it's not wiring or something like an air leak . . . not even enough room to squeeze a fart into the engine bay

Good call........ see if DTC moves banks is a great idea to isolate.
