Default P0101 CEL code?

I was towing a car home on a long trip yesterday and this code popped up. The truck ran perfectly the whole time. I have had it one time before a couple of months ago as well. Is this something to worry about? Is this because I have a de-screened MAF? I still have the stocker and I have swapped between the 2 in years past and never found any difference in driveability either way, so I just left the de-screened one in.

02 Denali AWD
5.7 LS6 block/heads/cam swapped for the original 6.0 LQ4
stock truck PCM/tune
cut out cat convertors
aftermarket air filter/intake tube
de-screened MAF
Accel plugwires

I have pulled this code many times and have even replaced the maf and still pull the code. For whatever it is worth I almost always pull this code in part throttle around 2000-2200 rpm's holding between gear changes .

hmmm...I was towing a car and I believe I was going uphill at the time about 2/3 throttle in the 2500-3000rpm range when it first popped on.

I always get it when there is some sort of load on the engine like going up a slight incline and around part throttle or so just before it should change gears but the rpm's just aren't quite there so it stays in gear longer than usual. I started getting this code after I pullied down the radix also had a new trans put in. Not sure if those are affecting it or not.

I recently started throwing this code and the P1125. im basically stock with bolt ons. I switched out the MAF yesterday for one with no screen and threw the code again. So basically have thrown it with and without a screen. Maybe the VOLANT places the MAF too close. I have a stock air box that im going to throw on tonight. Before this i replaced the TAC MODULE and the THROTTLE BODY. I called my tech guy at the dealership and hes going to look it up for me.

I bet yall are maxing out MAF Rationality Test table.....

This table defines the maximum difference that is allowed between the calculated airflow (using MAP) and actual measured airflow (MAF).
Your tuner should probably increase that table by a certain percentage... Also if your ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) should probably adjusted as well....


Just my .02.... I could be wrong thou...
