Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor harness connector.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor from the air cleaner cover and air cleaner outlet duct by loosening the hose clamps.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
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.
Installation Procedure
- Attach the MAF sensor to the air cleaner outlet duct and the air cleaner cover.
- Secure the air cleaner cover and outlet duct to the MAF sensor.
- Connect the MAF sensor harness connector.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
Important: The embossed arrow on the MAF sensor indicates the proper air flow direction. The arrow must point towards the engine.
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 clamps to 4 N·m (35 lb in)
