Removal Procedure
Note: Take care when handling the mass air flow/intake air temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor. Do not dent, puncture, or otherwise damage the honeycell located at the air inlet end of the MAF/IAT. Do not touch the sensing elements or allow
anything including cleaning solvents and lubricants to come in contact with them. Use a small amount of a non-silicone based lubricant, on the air duct only, to aid in installation. Do not drop or roughly handle the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor electrical connector (1).
- Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to
Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement.
- Loosen the clamp securing the MAF/IAT sensor to the air cleaner duct.
- Remove the MAF/IAT sensor bolts from the air cleaner assembly.
- Remove the MAF/IAT from the air cleaner.
Installation Procedure
Note: The embossed arrow on the MAF/IAT sensor indicates the proper air flow direction. The arrow must point toward the engine.
- Locate the air flow direction arrow (2) on the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Install the MAF/IAT sensor onto the air cleaner housing.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
- Install the MAF/IAT sensor retaining bolts and tighten to
11 N·m (97 lb in).
- Tighten the clamp securing the MAF/IAT sensor to the air cleaner duct.
- Install the air cleaner assembly. Refer to
Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement.
- Connect the MAF/IAT electrical connector (1).
