How to remove and install the MAF sensor on Ford Escape?

For 2006 and earlier models, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Next, remove the air intake duct by loosening the hose clamp screw and pulling off the duct, then disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF sensor. After that, disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF sensor and remove the half of the air filter housing that includes the MAF sensor. Detach the MAF sensor from the air filter housing cover by removing the four retaining nuts, then take out the MAF sensor. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the MAF sensor retaining nuts are tightened securely. Once the battery is reconnected, the Powertrain Control Module must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimal driveability and performance. For 2007 and later models, disconnect the sensor wiring harness, remove the two mounting screws, and pull the sensor out of the air duct, with installation being the reverse of removal.

Ford Escape Mass Air Flow Sensor

The Mass Air Flow Sensor in vehicles particularly in Ford Escape is so important in delivering air to the engines as it has the mandate of measuring the amounts of air getting into the engine and then passing this information to the engine control unit. This data is vital to enable ECU make the necessary changes on the fuel injection system in order to enhance the performance of the engine. There are many types of Mass Air Flow Sensors, some used in the Ford Escape for a long time including the Vane Meter and the Hot Wire sensor. The Vane Meter, as we have seen, is as efficient but tends to block the airflow and wears mechanically, the Hot Wire sensor on the other hand has higher accuracy and versatility and can be influenced by contamination. There are other types of sensors like Hot Film and Karman vortex sensors which encompasses different procedures to perform the same function of measuring the airflow accurately. The other substantial part of the Ford Escape, is the Mass Air Flow Sensor and it must be recommended to have it cleaned at regular intervals to keep the Ford Escape performing optimally.

We provide a wide range of Ford Escape Mass Air Flow Sensor at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Escape Mass Air Flow Sensor, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
