The OBD-II trouble code P1101 on a Chevrolet Cruze (or any other General Motors vehicle and many other OBD-II equipped vehicles) indicates a problem with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor system, as detected by the powertrain control module (PCM). Other related codes like P1001, P1100, P1102, P1103, P1104, or P1105 may also signify issues with the same system. If you're experiencing MAF sensor problems, your check engine light will likely come on, signaling the presence of the code. You may also observe symptoms such as decreased engine performance, erratic behavior, rough idling, lower fuel efficiency, or reduced power. It's crucial to address this issue promptly by replacing the MAF sensor to prevent potentially serious engine complications arising from what may seem like a minor problem initially.

I'm seeing two trouble codes, p1101, and I'm curious to find out their meaning.

In a Chevy Cruze, when you see code p1101, it indicates that the mass airflow sensor has detected an unusual problem outside of the typical range.

I recently replaced my mass air flow sensor, and the warning light turned off. However, after 3 hours, the light came back on, raising concerns about the extent of the issue.
-
The issue still persists even after replacing the MAF sensor and the check engine light remains on with the P1101 trouble code.

I saw the code pop up on my fixd code reader. In my situation, I suspect the issue might be with a faulty gas cap. I tried applying some oil around the rubber seal and the top of the fuel filler tube that touches the seal after refueling, and the check engine light went off. The engine continues to run smoothly even when the light comes back on, so I believe the gas cap is the culprit. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I'm dealing with a similar problem where my OBD II reader is displaying the PIP5684 code, which goes along with the P1101 code. After some research, I discovered that it's likely a boost leak issue. I watched a helpful video on https://youtu.be/heQYgmcGnHI that demonstrated how to use a boost leak tester. I followed the steps from the video, purchasing all the necessary parts from Lowe's and a 1/4" fuel hose from an auto store, such as O'Reillys. Now, I'm in the process of locating the boost leak and deciding on the appropriate sealant for when I pinpoint the issue. Hope this information is useful!
