If its DEAD, you SHOULD get the CEL code, and maybe the car wont start...and the MAF is the black box with the sticker as stated above...

The MAFS doesn't always throw a code. I know from experience. Best way to diagnose your MAFS is by testing the voltage. This topic has been covered before but I'll throw you a bone this time. Please try a search next time.
