Removal Procedure
- Loosen the clamp securing
the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to the air cleaner housing cover.
- Remove the MAF sensor from the air cleaner housing and position
the sensor aside.
- Remove the air cleaner
housing mounting nut.
- Remove the air cleaner
housing by pulling upward until the mounting studs are free from the housing
grommets.
Installation Procedure
- Install the air cleaner
housing by pressing downward on the housing until the grommets are seated
on the mounting studs.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the air
cleaner housing mounting nut.
Tighten
Tighten the nut to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
Notice:
| • | 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. |
- Insert the MAF sensor into the air cleaner
housing cover.
- Secure the air cleaner housing to the MAF sensor.
Tighten
Tighten the MAF sensor clamp to 4 N·m (35 lb in).
