engine light on...MAV sensor

hello. thanks for the time.

the other day i got the CEL light on...went to autozone to get it checked. got the following reading:

Code P010A indicates a fault in the Mass or Volume Air Flow sensor 'B' electrical circuit

P010A - Mass or Volume Air Flow 'B' circuit
P00AD - Intake Air Temp sensor 1 circuit high bank 2
P00AA - Intake Air Temp sensor 1 circuit bank 2


But after a day the light turns off ... i'm guessing something is off cuz when I fill the tank the reading of miles left and driven don't match up... and sometimes feels a bit sluggish....could be paranoia.. but still.

just wanna know if it's something that's easily replaceable by myself (trying to find some youtube videos)... or should i take it to the dealer?

I saw a couple on how to clean the sensor but they werent exactly the GL350...it was on the MLs...

thanks again for the time.

GL350 Bluetec and GLS580
They are probably cheaper online, btw.

wow. the price is nuts for this...it's a whole housing thing. 1000$. how do I find the part online? I just want the sensor... I've checked amazon..autozone and just a basic google search. blah cheapest so far is $825. Can't i just replace the sensor and not the whole housing unit?
