Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair




Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor









Removal and Installation

1. Remove the Air Cleaner (ACL). For additional information, refer to Intake Air Distribution and Filtering Intake Air System Components - Exploded View.

2. NOTICE: Do not tamper with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensing elements located in the airflow meter. Tampering can result in unit failure.

Open the ACL.

- Release the air box clamp.

- Separate the inlet side from the outlet side of the ACL.





3. Release the latches and remove the Mass Air Flow (MAF) assembly.





4. NOTE: The red clip must be pulled out before disconnecting the electrical connector.

Disconnect the MAF sensor electrical connector.





5. Remove the 2 screws and MAF sensor.
- To install, tighten to 2 Nm (18 lb-in).

6. NOTE: The grommet used to seal the ACL housing at the extension harness must be fully seated. Failure to do so will result in unmetered air entering the engine.

NOTE: Use the alignment notch to correctly align the inlet side and the outlet side of the ACL.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
