Lexus ES MAF sensor failure

Experiencing issues with my 2020 Lexus ES hybrid. At 124338 km, it's showing higher fuel consumption, engine stalls at idle, the check engine light is on, and produces smoke during acceleration. Suspect it might be a defective mass air flow meter. Any thoughts?

I had similar symptoms on my Lexus ES. Is your mass air flow sensor the issue? I would check that first. Sensor failure can cause all the problems you describe.

Thanks for the quick response. Did you also experience the stalling and smoke? I'm trying to confirm if it's definitively the MAF before replacing it.

Yes, stalling at idle and smoke were present. Given all your symptoms, I suggest a diagnostic check at a trusted workshop. It's best to confirm before you spend money.

The workshop confirmed the MAF sensor failure. Repair cost 365€. Thanks for your help!
