How do I restore my computer after changing MAF sensor?
Check if the engine light is still on after the Mass Air Flow Sensor was replaced. The entire system can be reset by unhooking the battery and leaving it unhooked for 10 minutes. Keeping the battery unhooked for longer than 10 minutes won’t hurt anything.
What should I do if I Change my MAF sensor?
1. Remove the air filter element. Then, vacuum out all dust/dirt/debris found inside both halves of the air filter housing. CAUTION: Make sure all dust/dirt/debris is removed from the air filter housing in order to prevent a repeat incident.
When to disconnect the mass airflow sensor?
Once you replace your mass airflow sensor, you will have to disconnect your car battery for some minutes (I recommend 10 to 15). The reason you need to do this is for the car computer to reset to its factory setting and forget previously learned parameters.
Do you have to reprogram the MAF sesnor?
No, you should not have to reprogram the computer. Is there any cracks or air leaks between the MAF sesnor and throttle body? You might have a bad new mass air flow sensor. Experience: ASE certified tech ADVANCED LEVEL PERFORMANCE. Wisconsin certified emissions state inspector
Where is the mass airflow sensor in a car?
To begin testing, the first thing to do is to locate it in the car. Open the car hood and you can find it just between the throttle body and air filter. It is inside the filter house in some car models. However, it is expected to be mounted around the air duct area.
