run the car at idle.... disconnect the harness at the MAf.. if the car changes a slight tone and or rpms change then the maf is working... you might get a CEL.. if not then your maf is done... disconnect the battery for a while to get rid of the CELs...
thats the fastest way to see if its busted or not...

I got these warning lights recently and it was not the MAF. I took the car to the dealer and it was just a fuse. The part was $16 dollars and it solved the problem. It's been 4 months now and everything is working fine.

Could be the most awesome warning lights ever. I was getting these warnings frequently, along with an occasional code for my break light switch. Replaced the switch, the ABS/PSM warnings stopped.

You should go get the codes read before you start throwing money at replacement parts. Here is a partial list of faults that will trigger that pair of lights: MAF, brake light switch, steering angle sensor, height sensor (on control arm), ABS sensors or control module problems... There are a lot more.

I get PSM/ABS lights ONLY when I turn the lights on (parking or headlamps). Scanned for codes, replaced faulty brake switch per code, problem still there. Everything fine until lights go on. Brake lights and all other lights working. Help!
