2006 Cadillac DTS Mass Air Flow Sensor Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor on 2006 Cadillac DTS?

  A: The procedure to change a Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF)/intake air temperature (IAT) sensor starts by separating the engine harness electrical connector from the Mass Air Flow Sensor/iat sensor. Detach the air cleaner outlet duct at both the Throttle Body and Mass Air Flow Sensor/iat sensor by working on its clamps before removing the duct. The next step involves removing the Mass Air Flow Sensor/iat sensor bolts before extracting the sensor while paying close attention to prevent any damage to screen and sensing elements. An installation process requires you to position the Mass Air Flow Sensor/iat sensor correctly before tightening its bolts to 4 n.m (35 lb in). The installation of the air cleaner outlet duct requires tightening the Mass Air Flow Sensor/iat sensor clamp to 3 n.m (27 lb in) while the Throttle Body clamp uses equal torque. A small amount of soap-based solution should be used to reattach the engine harness electrical connector to the Mass Air Flow Sensor/iat sensor while maintaining a distance between solvent and lubricant materials and the sensor elements.
