Removal Procedure





1. Disconnect the mass air flow (MAF)/intake air temperature (IAT) sensor electrical connector (3).
2. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor screws (2).

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.
