The first step to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor involves disconnecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the sensor area. Start by removing the Mass Air Flow Sensor screws before taking it out from the air cleaner cover. The installation process includes attaching the Mass Air Flow Sensor and screws into the air cleaner cover while torquing them to 0.6 N.m (5 lb in). The replacement process ends with connecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the Mass Air Flow Sensor.

How to service the Mass Air Flow Sensor on Chevrolet Malibu?

Service of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor starts by switching off ignition power. Service of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor requires the removal of both intake air temperature (IAT) sensor and mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical connectors. Follow these steps for servicing the maf sensor: first remove the maf sensor air inlet duct from the Throttle Body and maf sensor and secondly extract the maf sensor from the air filter housing. Install the Mass Air Flow Sensor into the air filter housing then establish connections between the sensor linking it to the duct and Throttle Body and connect both maf sensor and iat sensor electrical connectors.

Originally designed for the new generation engines, the Mass Air Flow Sensor in Chevrolet Malibu cars is used to determine the exact amount of air that is being supplied to the engine, which is key to the good performance of the vehicle. This information is communicated back to the PCM unit which then adjusts the rate of fuel injection to ensure that right amount of air and fuel is mixed for combustion. Various types of Mass Air Flow Sensors used in a Chevrolet Malibu model includes Vane Meters (VAF) and the Hot Wire sensors. The VAF sensor, though useful, can limit the amount of air that can pass through it and can wear out mechanically Meanwhile the Hot Wire sensor is much more precise and versatile but tend to be influenced by debris. There are also other types of sensor for example Hot Film and Coldwire that use entirely different principles for making the airflow measurement. This component is necessary to have proper operation of the Chevrolet Malibu, and therefore it requires constant maintenance of the Mass Air Flow Sensor.
