Bought my 06 Sierra 3 weeks ago, and (probably coincidentally), the first time I pulled a trailer with it the CEL popped up. Put the scanner on it and it showed a P0101 code, MAF circuit range/performance. The light was gone the next time I started the truck and has not returned. However, i put the scanner on it today(boredom, really), and it showed that same P0101 code, but the CEL is not illuminated. I have already verified that the bulb is not burned out, it does come on when the key is turned on. Why would the scanner show the code, but the CEL is not illuminated?

Did you clear the code by chance? If not then I would. Could be as simple as your gas cap was not tightened down all the way or needs to be replaced. Mine ended up being a dirty MAF.

Should still be a history code unless you deleted it.  Clean the MAF. Have you got an oiled filter like K&N if so go back to  a dry paper filter.

Here is a reason why.

I have the regular paper filter, and I did not clear the code out at the time, as the light was out when I restarted it. I did clear it out today though, so we'll see if it comes back or not

My 07 Silverado Classic that I purchased recently had that code along with fuel trim lean on both banks and knock sensor codes. Replaced knock sensors and harness and intake gaskets. Also cleaned the MAF sensor. That fixed the knock sensor codes but the fuel trim and maf codes still came back. Replaced MAF sensor and it fixed the remaining 3 codes. I was a technician at a GM dealer for 8 years and that was the first MAF sensor that I ever had to change on a 99-07 truck. Usually cleaning them did the trick. Just my luck I guess.

 

Try cleaning it, if that doesn't work just replace it. I got mine off Amazon for just over $100 CDN.

I did basically the same thing with a 2005 Tahoe.  I didn't have the knock sensor codes but I replaced them while I was in the valley changing the intake gasket.  For the "lean bank" codes (P0101 and P0104, if I recall correctly), cleaning the MAF sensor didn't do anything.  Replacing it did.  I had the 4.8L motor and bought a new sensor here.  I'm not sure if the 5.3 uses the same sensor.

I cleared the code out, and it has not yet returned so hopefully it was just a little hiccup it had for a minute. If it does come back though, I will definitely try cleaning it and see what happens

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
