Obii P2017?

Last week I had the Crank Position Sensor replaced by the dealer because the check engine light came on and gave the code for it. Today the check engine light came on again and gave the code P2017. The car seems to be driving fine, but the CEL and the code that it gave is making me nervous. I know that the P2017 code is: "P2017 Self adaptation of mixture formation from bank1/2 of cylinder is at max/min limit at idle speed", but what exactly does that mean? Should I take it immediately to the dealer and will it leave me standing on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck?

I drive a 2001 C240 with approx. 77k miles.

It won;t break down- usually that code is the Mass Air Flow sensor.

You were absolutely correct MB Tech21.
My check engine light is on so I went to the dealer this morning and my SA hooked it up to their diagnostic machine and sure enough he came back and said that my MAF sensor is about to go out. (I am going back next week to get it replaced, they didn't have the part) My question is this, if the sensor does go out this weekend will this part leave me stranded like my faulty crank position sensor did last week? My SA said that it wouldn't, but I would like to get other opinions. I am about to take the car on a road trip this weekend and put approx. 500 - 600 miles on it.

For future reference and from pass experience with MBSA, generally other dealerships usually have these parts on hands and can access them as needed, and inventory them accordingly to loaction. Did your SA mention/offer this to you .

I've never seen a car die due to this- even if the sensor was to go to an open circuit- the computer defaults to a set value. I'd feel safe driving it
