A code is a flag. These numbers are the evidence. Watch them in MotorBit next to RPM, then compare to freeze frame from when the light set.

Mass air flow (MAF) 01 10 g/s Mass air flow in grams per second is how much air the ECU thinks is entering the engine. Learn typical idle ra…
Oxygen sensor voltage 01 14 / 15 V Upstream O2 voltage should switch in closed loop. Downstream should be quieter. Learn how that pattern relates…
Engine coolant temperature 01 05 °C / °F ECT tells the ECU how warm the engine is. A stuck-cold reading wastes fuel and can set P0128. Learn typical wa…
Throttle position 01 11 % Throttle position should be near 0% at idle and rise smoothly as you press the pedal. Learn what a jumpy or st…
Calculated engine load 01 04 % Calculated engine load is how hard the engine is working, not the same as throttle. Use it to read freeze fram…
Fuel trim (STFT / LTFT) 01 06–09 % How far the ECU is correcting the mixture. Lean and rich codes live here.

Also read freeze frame — it is the same PIDs, frozen at the moment the fault set.
