Removal Procedure
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.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor harness connector.
- Release the air cleaner cover retainer clips.
- Remove the air cleaner outlet duct from the MAF sensor by loosening the hose clamp.
- Disconnect the air cleaner cover from the front of the MAF sensor by loosening the hose clamp.
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.
Installation Procedure
- Attach the MAF sensor to the air cleaner cover by tightening the hose clamp.
- Attach the air cleaner outlet duct to the MAF sensor by tightening the hose clamp.
- Install the air cleaner cover by fastening the air cleaner cover retainer clips.
- Connect the MAF sensor harness connector.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
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.
Important: Ensure that the flow arrows on the MAF sensor point away from the air cleaner.
Tighten
Tighten the clamps to 4 N·m (35 lb in).
Tighten
Tighten the clamp to 3-5 N·m (27-42 lb in).
