Can you use wd40 to clean MAF sensor?
DO NOT USE WD-40. Use a cleaner that is meant for electrical parts. Brake cleaner is essentially the same stuff. I’ve also used something called ‘thottle body cleaner’ whose label indicated it was safe for cleaning MAF’s.
Where is the MAF sensor on a Mercury?
If your Ford or Mercury vehicle uses the MAF sensor in the round Canister Air Filter assembly, go here: Ford MAF In Round Canister Air Filter Assembly. This is not the most definitive list on the subject, but does cover the majority of symptoms I’ve seen on these types of Ford mass air flow sensors:
Is the Ford MAF sensor easy to clean?
Well, this MAF sensor easily becomes contaminated with dirt and stuff from the air filter not performing its job or the box that holds the air filter is broken or not sealing correctly. The Ford MAF sensors are some of the easiest MAF sensor to clean.
Which is MAF code light up the Check Engine light?
MAF Codes that light up the check engine light (CEL) on your instrument cluster. P0102 MAF Signal Low Input to PCM. P0103 MAF Signal High Input to PCM. P1100 MAF Circuit Intermittent Voltage Input. P1101 MAF Sensor Circuit Output Voltage low During KOEO Self Test. MAF sensor malfunction that DOES NOT light up the check engine light (CEL).
What kind of cleaner to use for MAF sensor?
TIP 4: Your local auto parts (like AutoZone or O’reilly Auto Parts) will have the appropriate MAF sensor cleaner. The most common/popular is the CRC Mass Air Sensor Cleaner (part number: 05110).

How to clean the Ford mass air flow sensor?
Just remove the whole MAF assembly from the vehicle and use a pair of pliers to loosen and remove the bolt. Once the sensor is removed, it should look like the ones in photos 2 of 3 and 3 and 3 in the image viewer. Photo 3 is of the newer style Ford MAF sensor and photo 2 is of the older type MAF sensor.
