Replacing a Faulty MAF Sensor:
If you’ve identified that the MAF sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced, it’s best practice to follow these simple steps:
- To begin, connect a diagnostic tool to your vehicle. Select the right make, model, year, and engine code of the vehicle you’re acting on. Record the fault codes, and check the live data parameters for the MAF sensor. Then exit the diagnostic software and flip the ignition.
- You’ll also have to check the feeds, ground, and wiring. Connect the oscilloscope. Ideally, an occasion out lead should be wont to prevent puncturing the wiring’s insulation and causing a future wiring issue. To induce a reading, snap the throttle open, and observe the pattern.
- Once it’s determined that the MAF sensor is faulty, you’ll have to replace it. Remove the connector and so the fastening screws. Next, remove the sensor from its housing.
- Inspect the flow tube to make sure there are not any cracks within the plastic housing. If there are, you’ll have to replace the whole unit – not just the probe. If the flow tube is crack-free, then you’re alright to replace the sensor probe only.
- Remember it’s important to handle the sensor connector only. Never touch the electronics as this could damage the sensor probe.
- Carefully slide the new sensor probe into the flow tube, then tighten the fasteners and replace the connector.
- Reconnect the diagnostic kit and delete any fault code(s). Run the engine, and recheck for any new fault codes. Exit the diagnostic software and cut the ignition. Finally, make certain the check engine light has been extinguished, then perform a test.
