This video shows you how to install a new mass air flow sensor on your 2012-2018 Nissan Altima (2.5L). The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor determines the mass flow rate of air entering your vehicle. A trouble code indicating the sensor is not working properly could be because it is dirty, malfunctioning, or damaged, in which case your vehicle may run poorly or enter limp mode. Fortunately, sensors are typically easy to replace.

Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 24 minutes

  1. Great video, thank you! I wanted to mention that I purchased an aftermarket sensor and my 2014 Altima S (4cyl, 2.5L) did not accept it, ran worse after installing the aftermarket sensor. I replaced it with the OEM, Hitachi brand and the check engine light turned off and my car started running smoothly again. Thanks!
