how to service vehicle OBD2 codes...?

i got an actron and found out some codes causing my check engine light. my question is how do i find out what to do about them? any suggestion? for example, one of them is "MAF/VAF CIRCUIT LOW INPUT." do i just replace the MAF sensor? another is "MAP/BARO CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT." just replace that sensor also? i'm not expecting the mechanical answers, just asking does anyone know a place to find out what to do about codes when you identify them. thanks in advance.

if the reader shows a bad sensor, go ahead and replace them. those 2 sensors are not that expensive. if that doesn't fix the problem, then it's time to do a lot of research and see what else could be wrong. also, check all wiring to those sensors to make sure they are connected good.

The MAF sensor Low input could possibly be a dirty MAF screen. But then again if you switched out the sensors it'd be a sure way to fix it. High input for the MAP could possibly mean that there's a high reference voltage going back to the computer. I'm not sure what could cause it at the moment though. And you either have a MAP sensor or a MAF sensor. I don't believe you can have both.
