Mass Air Flow sensor cleaning — 2001 Honda Element

[Gary Medley]

While I’m sure Eric has addressed this somewhere, I can’t seem to find it. Is it a recommended to clean a MAF sensor using CRC’s dedicated cleaner? 2001 Element owner wants to know the why, what and how. Thank you Gary

As long as its a CRC MAF Sensor cleaner yes it can be used. MAF sensors are very delicate. Using anything but the MAF sensor cleaner can damage the sensor. Do not even use compressed air. Just use the MAF sensor and let it air dry before fixing it. Once my manager used Wurth electrical contact cleaner and the sensor became faulty and it blew a fuse on a Land Rover Defender 2.4 Turbo Diesel.
