The oxygen sensors have likely been contaminated. Remove and inspect the sensor to determine the type of contamination. Common causes include: - Use of incorrect silicone RTV sealant - Engine coolant leaking into the combustion chamber - Excessive engine oil consumption - Fuel containing silicon contaminants - Use of leaded fuel Once the root cause of contamination is addressed, the oxygen sensors must be replaced. It's recommended to fix the O2 sensor issues first. Additionally, try cleaning the MAF sensor as a potential step in resolving the P0101 code.
