    Hey all ok did a bit of searching but want to get some more opinions
    So yesterday I took out the charcoal pad from the air box top
    Then went to a race banquet about 45 mins away. It was fine on the way there. On the way back about 15 mins into the ride the dash lights up. 4lo,vcs blinking, trac control squiggle symbol and check engine light on constant. Truck ran fine the rest of the way home put it on the scanner and said MAF
    Anyone have this issue and should I put the charcoal pad back in ? That's the only I did different
    Thanks y'alll

    I've read that a aftermarket. CAI will pop the ck engine "MAF sensor " but never heard that it sets off all the other lights
    Also I did get a new AIP done by toyo about 1500 miles ago

    When you get a CEL, you lose TC and the dash lights up like said Christmas tree.

    Ok so it did it again yesterday. Give me your thoughts first time it did this it was kind of cold out low 30s and I was highway driving on the turnpike 75 mph or so yesterday upper 20s highway again steady 75 mph and it lite up the dash I haven't had it do this while just driving around town or when it's warmer
    Only thing I did to it was take the air cleaner lid inner plate off is the MAF getting to much cold air blown over it ???
    It's all stock other than hyper interceptor
    Here is what the scanner pulledIMG_0802.jpg
