Can't clear P119000/P119300 faulty intake air pressure
FYI: Can't clear code P119000 or P119300.
Background:
Changed filters -- dust/cabin and engine air filters disconnect MAP (mass air pressure sensor) to check/clean. At the same time, I disconnected/inspected most right cam magnet to look for missing 1L of engine oil when I replaced engine oil in April.
The codes can't be cleared until I came in and search online to find that someone said it needs to use the key to clear the P1190.
1 Removed start/stop button
2 Insert the key and turn to acc (Do not start)
3 Clear the code. Engine check light is gone
4 Remove the key
5 Insert the key. Start the engine and scan. No fault code found!

You solved it. That key trick is a known workaround for certain VAG group cars when the code gets stuck in a soft readiness state. Good find. Usually means the sensor is fine but the ECU needed a full power cycle not just a scanner reset.
