Sand in the airbox is totally normal and should be part of your weekly maintenance to clean air filter and the box itself. Sand in the intake (after the MAF) is a big alarm and means you either have a cracked air intake hose or a damaged filter element. Like @Thomas Varghese states if you see this occurring you need to get it checked ASAP. Sand will destroy your engine in a matter of days or weeks and will lead to expensive rebuilt.

Congrats @Jona !

Congrats @Tareq Al Turq !

Congrats @Quresh Pajero !

I have 2 of those ELM327 scanners lying around. Some times they work on a car, sometimes no avail. I also have a Konnwei 850 OBD scanner from Dragon Mart that works a lot better and reads my 2020 Civic, 1999 Trooper, and 2008 Pajero (not the 99 Pajero as that's a different story with that weird MUT2 protocol".
