Manufacturer-specific interpretation for VAG. All interpretations of P1159
The control module judged the Mass air flow (MAF) sensor, Bank 1 & 2 signal implausible when compared with other operating data. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Signals from MAF - 1 and MAF - 2: Implausible Correlation circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 17567. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
