Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the mass air flow/intake air temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor electrical connector.
- Loosen the intake air duct clamp at the throttle body.
- Remove the bolts retaining the upper housing cover to the lower housing.
- Remove the upper housing cover and air intake duct from the throttle body and lower housing.
- Remove the powertrain control module (PCM) and connector assembly from the lower housing.
- Pull upwards to remove the lower housing from the locating pins.
- Handle the MAF sensor carefully.
- Do not drop the MAF sensor in order to prevent damage to the MAF sensor.
- Do not damage the screen located on the air inlet end of the MAF.
- Do not touch the sensing elements.
- Do not allow solvents and lubricants to come in contact with the sensing elements.
- Use a small amount of a soap based solution in order to aid in the installation.
- If replacing the upper housing cover, be sure to transfer the air intake duct and MAF/IAT sensor to the replacement housing cover.
