That is a MAF code.

P0101 is Maximum delta airflow.It's a MAF code.Your exceeding the threshold value of that table..

If you are maxing the maf, be aware of your fueling. You will go lean very quickly once you max it (unless you are tuned for it) because the fueling numbers will not be in normal relation to the maf at the rpms where you hit the mafs limit anymore.

If you have edit, see at what rpm you max the maf out at and add fuel from that rpm cell and higher in the PE versus rpm table under fueling.

I think it is an 'out of boundary' code. I fit seems a lot more airflow at the rpm than it is programmed to see, it will trip this. You may just be flowing more air at say 1600-1800rpm than it thinks it should be seeing. It will then set the code.

You can fix this boundary limit in edit.
