2. Remove the two fasteners.
3. Remove the MAF sensor (4) from the air cleaner housing (2).
4. Remove the O-ring (3).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE




1. Install a new O-ring (3) on the MAF sensor.

3. Secure the MAF sensor to the air cleaner housing with the 2 fasteners.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Tighten the 2 fasteners to 2 N.m (18 lb in).
