I'm currently experiencing a VW Jetta 2002 fault code P1296, indicating no 5V supply to the Mass Airflow (MAP) sensor.

Begin by inspecting the wiring harness and electrical connection leading to the MAP sensor for loose connections, corrosion, or physical damage. Ensure the power supply voltage reaches the sensor terminals using a multimeter when the engine is off and then on.
