MAF error code

03 E500, I'm getting a "MAF or VAF A Ckt Rng Perform" code reading from my scanner. MAF = mass air flow sensor, what is VAF or are these 2 of the same things? And can you tell me if there's a way to test these items or should I just replace them?

I swapped mine last year. Piece of cake.

I have a working used one, if you want to try it out first, before buying one.

If it fixes your problem, you can either shoot me a little cheese or buy a new one and ship me mine back. Up to you. PM me if you want it.
