Better to show yr of manufacture etc etc.
Likely battery went low - can cause lots of dtcs. Likely coursed a U dtc. Resetting/deleting/removing dtcs does not solve the problem. Can be done to clear Forscan and scan again see it they come back. Previously set can be reset.
Could also be disturbance - box up and down - ram in and out - moves a harness/connector. Harness wires for lights are moved by activating the box.

The DTC iforms you there is a problem - you need to find out what that problem is.
Clearing the DTC does not fix the problem.
The problem can be a damaged wire, dirt in/on the sensor (don't use a rag to clean it), there can be other associated problems electrical/mechanical, other things like a broken pipe or blocked filter, loose fitting.
Some problems are easy to fix other's are not.

90% of MAF and MAP sensor issues on Mk7's are due to bad wiring and/or a poorly EGR valve. The sensors themselves rarely fail.
Far too many MAF & MAP sensors are replaced for no reason.

mass air flow problem wouldn't cause cluster problems and usually thats battery related which can triggers faults elsewhere
