Current or stored, there is a difference. If current then it indicates there is still something wrong with the MAF circuit. Stored refers to older codes stored in memory for reference purposes. Best to have all cleared fully so as to know where to start from. Be clear that you are chasing fresh codes.
The only compatible scan tools for this car are in the several thousand dollar price range unless you can find a cheap used DRBIII as clarky has indicated. This is the factory tool. If your mechanic is not using a high end tool it's hard to guarantee it's working properly on this engine. Many perfectly acceptable scanners that mechanics use on other breeds in their daily operation do not work properly on the 2.7
