Ford KA car goes into limp mode p0101

Car: Ford KA
Variant: ka
Model Year: 2014

Categories: Engine & Drivetrain

diagnostic fault code is P0101 witch refers to airmass meter fault,
the problem i have is that this car is not fitted with a air mass meter it uses a map sensor
to reference the inlet manifold.
just wandering if any one else has come across this problem ?

Dont know what engine in your car but there are MAFs on different models / years . If it has either a MAF or MAP sensor you could try cleaning either

The engine is the Fiat 1.2 fire engine it definitely doesn't have a maf
I've cleaned the map to no improvement
I've swop it out for a new one to no improvement
I'm thinking possibly ECU?
Further testing tomorrow
Thanks for replying

If you disconnect a MAF or MAP sensor with engine going it should change engine running if working o.k . If no change , not working . Worth trying .

There's no maf
And I have tried a new map the problem is the same
I'll check continuity from map to ECU
Thanks for your reply
