Disconnect connector

- Disconnect connector

- Disconnect/connect connector 3 times to remove oxide layer on the mating surface.

- Check that no terminals have been backed out of the connector and they are undamaged.

3
Lubricate the connector





Check terminals if they are greased.

Add grease only if it is missing.

Use low temperature grease. 0.5 gram/car. Make sure that no dint is introduced with the grease.

4
Secure the cable harness to the mass air flow (MAF) sensor

Position cable with an 18 mm (23/32") diameter loop (B), so that it is not putting stress on the connector (check with calipers).

Hold the cable in the position it is to be fixed and check that the cable is not stretched.

If the cable is stretched, position cable on the other side of the turbocharger control valve (TCV) hoses which are under the MAF sensor.





Install tie strap (A) (P/N 948211-8) as illustrated.

Check

- Check that the clearance between MAF connector and fuse is 3.2 mm (1/8") or more.

- Check that the fresh air intake is properly secured on the turbo charger (TC). If necessary tighten clamp.
