MAF sensor plug

More for future reference than anything.

I was getting an open circuit code for the intake air temperature sensor, which is located in the MAF.

Swapped the MAF from a new one I bought a few years ago. In the process noticed the tab was broken off the plug, but it was still seating nicely.

Still had the code, so ordered a replacement plug and some pigtails.

I'm guessing I've got a break in a wire somewhere else. Hopefully the plug does the trick though.

Wishful thinking.

There's a break somewhere else in the harness I'm guessing.

You can replace the terminals and rubber seals, and keep the OEM wire colors. Ballenger and Corsa both sell them (Sumitomo & Yazaki) in bulk...waaay cheaper than Toyota sells those "repair wires".

The plug wasn't bad. $11 or $12.

Those wires were $8 a piece, and I bought ten in case I went full retard. That hurt.

I was there, seemed easier than digging into a separate source.

I probably could've just de-pinned the old plug as well, but I've found in the past that i struggle with that.

Well you just added 10 additional potential failures into sensitive circuits by splicing pigtails in. And spent $80 to do it instead of $5 to do it properly

They're soldered, heat shrinked, wrapped, and in wire loom. It's better than what Toyota did.
