What does code P1141 mean?

Q: What does code P1141 mean?

Load Calculation Cross Check Range Performance. P1141 on Volkswagen vehicles indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a discrepancy between the calculated engine load and the load value reported by the mass airflow (MAF) sensor or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. The ECM cross-checks these values and sets the code when the difference exceeds a calibrated threshold for a specified time, signaling a problem with the load calculation or sensor feedback.
