Report: Check Engine Light and Lack of Power Due to Failed Mass Air Flow Sensor

Lexus ES300 Problem

15 Reports

Me Too

Model Years Affected: 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001

Average Mileage: 121,000 mi (89,000 mi - 161,000 mi)

The Check Engine Light may illuminate because the mass air flow sensor sends incorrect information to the engine control computer. This can cause a loss of power on acceleration. A failed mass air flow sensor will require replacement.
