REMOVAL PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the MAF sensor harness connector.
NOTE: Handle the MAF sensor carefully. Do not drop the MAF sensor. Do not damage the screen located at 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 SPO P/N 12345884 lubricant or the soap based equivalent in order to aid in the installation.
3. Disconnect the MAF sensor from the air cleaner cover and air cleaner outlet duct by loosening the hose clamps.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: The embossed arrow on the MAF sensor indicates the proper air flow direction. The arrow must point towards the engine.
1. Attach the MAF sensor to the air cleaner outlet duct and the air cleaner cover.
NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
2. Secure the air cleaner cover and outlet duct to the MAF sensor.
Tighten
Tighten the clamps to 4 N.m (35 lb in).
3. Connect the MAF sensor harness connector.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
