Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Canyon and 2009 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use care when handling the mass air flow (MAF)/intake air temperature (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.
- Disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Remove the MAF/IAT sensor screws (1).
- Remove the MAF/IAT sensor (2) from the air cleaner upper housing.
