Steps
Move the intake duct
Switch the ignition off and loosen the intake duct clamps. Move the tube enough to access the sensor, freeing any clipped hose without stretching it.
Remove the old sensor
Unplug the sensor connector by its housing and release the clamp or fasteners. Lift the sensor out while keeping dirt from entering the intake tract.
Install the replacement sensor
Transfer the sealing ring only if the new sensor requires it and the ring is undamaged. Fit the sensor in the correct airflow direction and secure the clamp evenly.
Reconnect and inspect
Reconnect the electrical plug until its lock engages, then restore the intake duct and hose clip. Check for gaps or loose clamps before starting the engine.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
