No, I haven't checked for a boost leak. Haven't done that before so would need to read up on it.

Had this issue a while back.
Tried cleaning the MAF didn't fix it.
Changes the MAF and it fixed it.
I also went back to the paper OEM air filter as from what I read Oil Based filter tend to mess up the MAF.

Good Luck

Just to update everything, finally fixed this issue. It turned out to be the MAF. I tried cleaning it with no luck. Changing it out for a new one solved the problem. Also got rid of the air filter and went back to stock

It's amazing the plethora of codes a bad MAF will randomly throw!

The only error lights on now at the ABS and the PSM, and the same error code as previously. I've installed the 3rd brake light LED resistors (one on each cable).

The spoiler light went away after following the guide above and cutting out the sensors.

The fuel gauge fault went away after a full fill up of gas.

My MAF WENT and did this... ripped out my airbox and drove it without ABS and MAF disconnected the 55 miles to Tims... the new MAF I bought here on 6 speed was effed as well

I am going MAFLESS
