How to Replace MAF Sensor 09-14 Nissan Murano

Difficulty: Beginner · About 15 min · Nissan Murano

Replace the mass airflow sensor on 2009–2014 Nissan Murano models by disconnecting its plug and transferring the sensor at the intake tube.

Steps

1. Disconnect the sensor

   Turn the ignition off and locate the sensor in the intake tube. Release the electrical connector lock and unplug it without pulling on the wires.

2. Remove the old sensor

   Remove the two small retaining bolts and lift the sensor straight away from the intake. Keep the opening clean and note how the sensor aligns with its locating features.

3. Install the replacement

   Position the new sensor with its locating pins aligned and seat it evenly. Start both bolts by hand, tighten them gently, and reconnect the harness until its lock engages.

4. Verify the installation

   Check that the connector is secure and the intake housing is undisturbed. Start the engine and confirm normal idle and warning-light behavior; investigate further if the fault remains.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
