BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* mass airflow sensor (complete unit with housing) to suit the Holden Alloytec V6 engine family. Covers the Commodore VE, Calais VE, Statesman WM and Caprice WM fitted with the 3.6L V6 Alloytec engine from 2006 to 2013 - including petrol, Dual Fuel LPG and LPG-only variants. Stocked in Melbourne and dispatched express Australia-wide.

The MAF sensor is one of the most important sensors on the Alloytec V6. When it starts to fail the ECU loses accurate air mass data and the symptoms come on fast - rough idle, black smoke, hesitation under load, increased fuel consumption and a check engine light with fault codes P0100 to P0103. Whether it is your daily Commodore, your Calais, or your Statesman, this BRAND NEW direct-fit unit restores factory performance without any wiring modification. Same-day dispatch from Cranbourne VIC.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

1 x BRAND NEW mass airflow sensor - complete unit with housing. 5-pin connector. 12V operating voltage. We recommend replacing the air filter at the same time as the sensor for best results.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The mass airflow sensor on the Holden Alloytec V6 is a hot-film air mass meter mounted between the air filter housing and the throttle body. It measures the volume and temperature of air entering the engine and transmits this data to the ECU, which uses it to calculate precise fuel injection quantity and ignition timing. The Alloytec 3.6L V6 engine was shared across the full Holden VE Commodore and WM Statesman platform - Omega, SV6, Berlina, Calais, Statesman, Caprice - in both naturally aspirated and LPG configurations. This sensor is cross-compatible across the entire Alloytec engine family. Verified fitment against Holden OEM 21994504 and Bosch 0280218177.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Check engine light - fault codes P0100 P0101 P0102 P0103 (MAF sensor circuit)
Rough idle or engine hunting at operating temperature
Hesitation or flat spot on acceleration
Poor throttle response especially from low revs
Noticeably increased fuel consumption
Limp mode or reduced power warning
Engine stalling at idle or in slow traffic

Can I clean my MAF sensor instead of replacing it?

Yes - if the sensor is contaminated rather than electrically failed, cleaning with a dedicated MAF sensor cleaner spray can restore correct readings. Do not use brake cleaner or generic electrical contact cleaner as these leave residue that damages the sensing wire. Allow the sensor to dry completely before reinstalling. If cleaning does not resolve the fault codes, the sensor requires replacement.

What is the difference between a MAF sensor and a MAP sensor?

A MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor directly measures the mass of air entering the engine using a hot wire element in the intake. A MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor measures intake manifold pressure to calculate air density. Most modern engines use one or the other - some use both. Your vehicle service manual or OBD2 fault codes will confirm which sensor type your engine uses.

Will a faulty MAF sensor cause my vehicle to fail an emissions test?

Yes. A faulty MAF sensor causes the ECU to miscalculate fuel delivery, typically resulting in a rich running condition that increases CO and hydrocarbon emissions. Most roadworthy and emissions checks will fail a vehicle with an active MAF sensor fault code or visibly excessive exhaust smoke.

What are the symptoms of a bad MAF sensor?

Common symptoms include rough idle, hesitation or stumbling on acceleration, poor fuel economy, black smoke from the exhaust, and an illuminated Check Engine light. Your ECU may log fault codes P0100 to P0104.

Can I drive with a faulty MAF sensor?

You can drive short distances but it is not recommended. A faulty MAF sensor causes the ECU to run incorrect fuel mixtures, which can damage the catalytic converter and O2 sensors over time. Have it replaced as soon as possible.

How do I test if my MAF sensor is bad?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0100-P0104. You can also use a multimeter or live data scanner to check the sensor output voltage against your vehicle's specification. A reading significantly outside spec confirms a faulty sensor.

What causes a MAF sensor to fail?

The most common causes are a dirty or contaminated sensing element (often from a missing or damaged air filter), oil contamination from an over-oiled aftermarket air filter, heat damage, or general wear over time.

Do I need to reset my ECU after replacing the MAF sensor?

It is good practice to clear any stored fault codes using an OBD2 scanner after replacement. Some vehicles will self-adapt within a short drive cycle, but clearing codes ensures the ECU recalibrates from a clean baseline.
