Check engine OBD code reported issue with MAF sensor. Engine idles just a little rough sometimes.

Altima SL 2.5L I4

  • CVT transmission
  • 60,000 miles

The check engine light would come on and go away on its own. I checked with an OBDII scanner and the fault code said it had something to do with the mass air flow sensor. Took the car to the dealer and they said it might be a bad ECM calibration. Reloaded the calibration and the problem went away. My only problem with this is although the engine was covered under warranty, the dealer insisted the ECM is not and I had to pay for the ECM calibration.
