I put in the OBD2 and got P0603,P0106,P0340 and P0345...also I hav a battery and brake light on even after I put a new battery so Im guessing its the alternator but apparently the previous owner had it replaced 3 weeks before I brought it. The car gave out on me after a day when it went into limp mode n then shut off. When I put the new battery it ran good for 10 mins and then got those lights again. Let me know if I need to it done professionally or I can do most of em myself
Hi I did have the code p206 and it’s the mass airflow sensors they can be cleaned with cleaner that u buy from an auto parts store. I had the code couple of times but after cleanig np.

I cleaned it and now the code is in pending instead of permanent...thanks for the advise tho
Just to clarify: The P0106 has nothing to do with the MAF (mass air flow) sensors, so cleaning them won't do anything to resolve this issue.
This code is declared when the ECU compares the actual intake manifold absolute pressure (MAP) to a calculated pressure and it is outside of the acceptable range.
I suspect the ECU update increases the range of what is acceptable.
The P0603, P0340 and P0345 can be caused by a dead or weak battery, which is good news
The "battery and brake light" indicate the alternator is not charging the battery.
I am aware of a few cases where some cheaper aftermarket alternators don't always work properly with our "power generation variable control"
This is where the engine control module (ECM) reads the battery current sensor and determines how much or how little to charge the battery using a signal (pulse width modulated) that the ECM sends to the alternator.
Can you contact the previous owner to see if it can be replaced under warranty, that way you might not have to spend money to fix it.
