Title: Resetting maf
Post by: whereufromnosecity on 19 January 2011, 16:20

As the title says everytime i go out in the motor the maf has reset it self
The clock keeps time but all other info like mpg, trip etc gets reset

Any ideas guys?

Battery voltage dropping as a guess.

It is mfa btw

Is the mfa set to no1 or 2? no1 gives journey (and resets after about 2 hours automatically) and no2 gives overall (until you press the reset)

b.t.w It may be the otherway round but I'm miles from my car to check......

Yeah I was gonna say that - if my battery voltage drops off too low the clock resets itself as well as the MFA readings.

Yeah i meant mfa :laugh:

I do have a problem with the battery losing charge over time if left for a couple of weeks due to a drain somewhere but since it's been in daily use i had no problems starting etc

How do i if the mfa is set to 1 or 2?

Aye - hold it to the left (past the 1 to reset current trip) and hold it to the right to reset overall values. If you leave it on 1 it shows current trip, leaving it on 2 shows overall :)
