Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor and the Air Fuel Ratio Sensor (vehicles with California Emissions only). Problems with the MAF Sensor and Air Fuel Ratio Sensor can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. On some vehicles the MAF Sensor can be cleaned, and it will not need replacement. The cost to replace the Air Fuel Ratio Sensor is estimated at $310.23 for parts and $58.50 for labor. The cost to replace the MAF Sensor is estimated at $151.10 for parts and $58.50 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax. |
