Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair
Mass Airflow Sensor/Intake Air Temperature Sensor Replacement
Removal Procedure
Important: Take care when handling the mass air flow/ intake air temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor. Do not dent, puncture, or otherwise
damage the honeycell located at the air inlet end of the MAF/IAT. 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/IAT sensor.
1. Disconnect the MAF/IAT sensor electrical connector.
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
3. Loosen the clamp securing the MAF/IAT sensor to the air cleaner duct.
4. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor bolts from the air cleaner assembly.
5. Remove the MAF/IAT from the air cleaner.
Installation Procedure
Important: The embossed arrow on the MAF/IAT sensor indicates the proper air flow direction. The arrow must point toward the engine.
1. Locate the air flow direction arrow (2) on the MAF/IAT sensor.
2. Install the MAF/IAT sensor onto the air cleaner housing.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.
3. Install the MAF/IAT sensor retaining bolts.
Tighten the bolts to 11 N.m (97 lb in).
4. Tighten the clamp securing the MAF/IAT sensor to the air cleaner duct.
5. Install the air cleaner assembly.
6. Connect the MAF/IAT electrical connector.
