Fault codes P0102 and P0113 will be active if you have a faulty MAF sensor, the check engine light will come on, and the vehicle may have poor acceleration. This guide is a step-by-step procedure to replace the mass airflow sensor on a 2012 to 2017 Toyota Camry XV50.
How to Replace Mass Air Flow Sensor on a Toyota Camry
What you will need
- Phillips screwdriver
- OBD-II Scanner
- Toyota Camry MAF sensor
Procedure
- Unlock the vehicle and open the driver’s door.
- Connect the OBD II Scanner on the OBD II port below the dashboard.
- Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the accessories menu.
- Set the scanner to the diagnostic menu and go to Read Codes (stored).
- Open the hood and locate the mass airflow sensor above the air filter housing or airbox.
- Disconnect the connector by squeezing the connector and pulling it out.
- Remove the screws holding the sensor using a Phillips screwdriver.
- Pull the mass airflow sensor out.
- Get the new sensor and install it into the air filter housing.
- Reinstall the screws and reconnect the electrical connector.
- Go to the driver’s seat, start the vehicle, and start the engine. Clear the fault codes with the OBD-II scanner. The check engine light should stay off if there is no other issue.
- Get the scanner, go to the diagnostic menu again, and erase the code.
- Start the vehicle a few times and recheck the engine light.
A generic OBD-II scanner can clear the check engine light. However, if you want a more professional OBD-II scanner, use the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner, which can read and clear fault codes through every control module on supported vehicles.
That’s it. Replacing the mass airflow sensor on a Toyota Camry is very easy.
