How To Clean A Toyota Mass Air Flow Sensor/ Hot Wire MAF

In this video I go over how to clean a "hot wire" Toyota Mass Air Flow sensor. Simply remove the MAF sensor. Spray MAF sensor cleaner onto the hot wires and temperature probe. Allow the sensor to dry completely and then reinstall the sensor.

Warning: As mentioned in the video Toyota used what is called a Karman Vortex MAF sensor on some of their earlier models. Using MAF cleaner to clean this type of MAF sensor can damage the sensor. Do not use MAF cleaner on a Karmen Vortex MAF sensor. If your can of MAF sensor cleaner does not have a 1-800 number to "tech support", I'd suggest calling a parts pro at one of many parts stores to confirm if the MAF sensor you are working on is not a Karman Vortex MAF sensor. You can also get this information from a reputable repair manaul.

Warning: Be sure your vehicle is not running and that the vehicle is placed into park with the parking brake applied before attempting this repair. Be sure that the vehicle is parked on a flat level surface. Doing these things can greatly reduce the risk of accidents.
