Will a faulty MAF sensor always spark a check engine light?

My 2012 sedan has some acceleration hesitation, a lot like whats is described for a bad MAF sensor. But my check engine light is off.

There is a difference between a faulty maf and a dirty maf. A dirty one can affect performance but not trigger a code. Cleaning is easy. Do it and see what results.

Check your throttle body and see how dirty it is.

Also I would be at live data such as fuel trims and maf air flow at idle to get an idea of it being a maf issue or not
