Removal Procedure
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.
- Disconnect
the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor
harness connector.
Notice:
ā¢ | Handle the MAF sensor carefully. |
ā¢ | Do not drop the MAF sensor in order to prevent damage to the MAF
sensor. |
ā¢ | Do not damage the screen located on the air inlet
end of the MAF. |
ā¢ | Do not touch the sensing elements. |
ā¢ | Do not allow solvents and lubricants to come in contact with the
sensing elements. |
ā¢ | Use a small amount of a soap based solution in order to aid in
the installation. |
- Disconnect the MAF sensor from the air cleaner cover and air cleaner
outlet duct by loosening the hose clamps.
Installation Procedure
Important: The embossed arrow on the MAF sensor indicates the proper air flow direction.
The arrow must point towards the engine.
- Attach the MAF sensor to the air cleaner outlet duct and the air cleaner
cover.
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.
- Secure the air cleaner
cover and outlet duct to the MAF sensor.
Tighten
Tighten the clamps to 4 NĀ·m (35 lb in)
- Connect the MAF sensor
harness connector.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
