I'm having trouble with the Mercedes-Benz W213 and the code P0101FA.
Icarsoft v2.0 has been used to modify the hfm settings, and I have also changed the air filter and mass airflow meter. When the engine rpm reaches 2.5–3,000, the car enters what seems like a limp mode with limited power.


My car went into limp mode and my CEL disappeared for almost three weeks. And I'm finally back. My observation during the MAF re-adaptation process (Hfm drift values xxxxx) was that Every one of the current correction values is zero. Could this be the correct version? As far as I recall, when there was no limp or CEL, they were all about 10 years old.

With a functional maf, shouldn't the correction values be set to 0%?

Does anybody else have this problem?

boost leak is the most typical cause. The meaning of P0214fA14627 is unclear to me.

There is a problem with Air Mass Meter 1, P0101FA.

Make sure to inspect the MAF wires as well as any potential boost leaks; a hose split can be difficult to spot.

Can you tell me the recommended voltage for the MAF pins?
