Product & Technical

How can I determine if the MAF/VANE air flow sensor is bad?
Visually inspect the sensor element in the MAF for damage or for a burnt smell. In the VANE AIRFLOW sensor, inspect the door for binding or for a burnt smell. Check for diagnostic trouble codes with a scanner.


How can a malfunctioning MAF/VANE air flow sensor affect my vehicles’ operation?
A malfunctioning MAF/VANE air flow sensor can cause any one or more of the following symptoms: hesitation, stalling, poor fuel economy or poor engine performance.


What are the most common causes of MAF/VANE air flow sensor problems?
Over-voltage sources from relays, short circuited wiring, cracked printed circuit boards, moisture entering the unit through split air ducts, electrical connections and wiring, air intake obstructions or gas/oil fumes from the engine can cause failure. Check air filter and air ways for dirt or debris. Check for loose or faulty connectors and broken or faulty wiring. Be sure to check these to prevent damage to the replacement unit.


What goes bad in MAF sensors?
The most common causes are: cracked circuit boards, burnt sensing elements, poor solder joints, deteriorated conformal coating, or loose printed circuit board components.


What goes bad in vane air flow type units?
The most common causes are: a worn vane assembly, a cracked housing, or a cracked printed circuit board. These conditions all require unit replacement.
