    First thing to check would be the NSBU and make sure its the updated tan switch, good dealer would have installed it with new trans..

    If thats ok, then check the wiring in the TCM harness where it runs along the p/s return line clamp at the pump.. known rub point.

    If thats not it, fill tank, head East across the fresh water pond until you get to Grand Rapids, let sit 1-2 days and return home happy

    D,

    Clean it first. Remove carefully, watch the wires inside. You'll need a security wrench(ALLEN wrench with a hole in the middle of it) to get it off. Put some 90% denatured alchol (not 70% -- too much oil) in a good strong baggie and swish is around for a couple of minutes. Let it dry completely and reinstall. They don't go bad often so it might just be dirty (especially if you run an oiled air filter).

    Good luck,
    Bob

    MAF - Mass Airflow Sensor
    Located next to air box in the intake duct.
    Measures airflow, relayed to ECM.

    Plastic safe electronic contact cleaner works and you should be able to clean it by opening the air box and sprying it down. let it dry for a few minutes and you're all set. I've seen it done on gassers, it should work just as good for this app.
