Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair






REMOVAL PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Take care when handling the MAF. Do not dent, puncture, or otherwise damage the Honeycell located at the air inlet end of the MAF. Do not touch the sensing elements or allow anything including cleaning solvents and lubricants to come in contact with them. Use a small amount of a non-silicone based lubricant on the air duct only, to aid in installation. Do not drop or roughly handle the MAF.

1. Disconnect the MAF sensor electrical connector.
2. Remove the air intake duct clamps from the MAF sensor.
3. Remove the MAF sensor.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Important: The embossed arrows on the MAF sensor indicate the proper air flow direction. The arrows must point toward the engine.

1. Install the MAF sensor into the air intake duct.
2. Install the clamps.
3. Connect the electrical connector.
