Removal Procedure
- Loosen the clamp securing the MAF sensor to the air cleaner housing cover.
- Remove the MAF sensor from the air cleaner housing and position it aside.
- Remove the air cleaner housing mounting nut.
- Remove the air cleaner housing by pulling upward until the mounting studs are free from the housing grommets.
Installation Procedure
- Install the air cleaner housing by pressing downward on the housing until the grommets are seated on the mounting studs.
- Install the air cleaner housing mounting nut.
- Insert the MAF sensor into the air cleaner housing cover.
- Secure the air cleaner housing to the MAF sensor.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the nut to 10 N·m (88 lb in).
Notice:
• Handle the MAF sensor carefully. • Do not drop the MAF sensor in order to prevent damage to the MAF
sensor. • Do not damage the screen located on the air inlet
end of the MAF. • Do not touch the sensing elements. • Do not allow solvents and lubricants to come in contact with the
sensing elements. • Use a small amount of a soap based solution in order to aid in
the installation.
Tighten
Tighten the MAF sensor clamp to 4 N·m (35 lb in).
