22680-4M500 Mass Air Flow Sensor 22680-2W200/22680-4M501/22680-6N201/22680-AA290

Quality sensors are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. Premium options are 100% air flow tested for ideal performance and are calibrated for each application.

Part number 22680-4M500 is widely cross-referenced across multiple automotive brands and aftermarket manufacturers. The following cross-references have been identified:

Important: Small deviations in the part number, e.g., different index letters at the end, can have a big impact on interoperability with your vehicle. Always compare the part number with that of your old part before purchase.

The 22680-4M500 Mass Air Flow Sensor is designed for a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, spanning both petrol/gasoline and diesel engine applications.

Important Note: This sensor is used across a wide range of platforms with both petrol and diesel engines. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle's year, make, model, engine size, and original part number before purchase.

A failing or failed 22680-4M500 Mass Air Flow Sensor can produce a range of noticeable driveability issues. The MAF sensor is responsible for measuring intake air mass so the ECM can determine proper fuel delivery. When this sensor provides inaccurate readings or fails completely, engine performance is directly affected.

Common OBD-II codes associated with MAF sensor failure include:

• P0100 – Mass Air Flow Circuit Malfunction
• P0101 – Mass Air Flow Circuit Range/Performance Problem
• P0102 – Mass Air Flow Circuit Low Input
• P0103 – Mass Air Flow Circuit High Input
• P0171 – System Too Lean (Bank 1)

1. Disconnect Test: A simple diagnostic method is to unplug the MAF sensor connector. If the engine idle or performance improves significantly with the sensor disconnected, the MAF sensor is likely faulty.
2. OBD-II Scan: Retrieve diagnostic trouble codes to confirm MAF-related faults.
3. Visual Inspection: Inspect the sensor element for damage or contamination. Contamination is a key reason why MAF sensors fail.
4. Check for Air Intake Leaks: Before replacing the MAF sensor, check for simple air intake leaks, as they can cause identical symptoms.
5. Check Air Filter: Ensure the air filter is clean and properly installed to prevent contamination of the new sensor.

Note: Symptoms may appear intermittently. A MAF sensor can fail gradually, with performance deteriorating over time as the hot-film sensing element ages or becomes contaminated.

When purchasing a replacement 22680-4M500 Mass Air Flow Sensor, consider the following factors to ensure proper fitment, performance, and longevity.

Critical: Before purchasing, confirm that the part number on your existing sensor matches 22680-4M500 or one of its equivalents. Small deviations in the part number, e.g., different index letters at the end, have a big impact on interoperability with your vehicle. Always compare the part number and product images with your old part before purchase.

The 22680-4M500 sensor is used across a wide range of vehicles including Nissan (Patrol, Pulsar, Maxima, Micra, Sentra, Almera, X-Trail, Navara) and Infiniti (G20, I30). Always confirm your specific vehicle's year, make, model, engine size, and original part number before purchasing.

This sensor is used in both petrol/gasoline and diesel applications. Verify your engine code and fuel type before purchase.

This sensor typically features:

• 4-pin connector (some variants may have 5 pins)
• Blade-type terminals
• Male connector

Before ordering, verify that the plug configuration matches your vehicle's wiring harness connector.

While aftermarket alternatives may be available at lower price points, quality varies significantly. Quality sensors are:

• 100% air flow tested for ideal performance
• Calibrated for each application to ensure proper engine efficiency and fuel mileage
• Made with precision elements and high-quality components for enhanced durability

Cheap unbranded aftermarket MAF sensors are way off expected parameters and will affect fuelling, performance, consistency, and reliability.

This sensor is typically supplied with housing, meaning it comes as a complete assembly ready for installation.

• Location: The MAF sensor is located in the intake duct between the air filter and throttle body
• Quantity: One sensor per vehicle
• DIY Feasibility: Replacement is generally straightforward
• Airflow Direction: Make sure the airflow direction indicated on the sensor is toward the engine
• Caution: Handle the sensing element with care; contamination from dirt, moisture, or oil can cause premature failure

Please clean out the air box and replace the air filter before installing this mass air flow sensor, or the code and check engine light may keep showing even if you replace a new MAF.

Before replacing the MAF sensor, confirm that it is the root cause of your vehicle's symptoms. Perform the disconnect test or consult a professional diagnostic scan. Other issues such as vacuum leaks, clogged air filters, or faulty oxygen sensors can produce similar symptoms.

Quality MAF sensors typically come with warranties. Some suppliers offer warranties ranging from 12 months to longer periods. Check with your supplier for specific warranty terms before purchase.

Purchase from reputable suppliers with positive customer feedback. Reviews often provide valuable insight into product quality and compatibility. Some users report that cheap aftermarket sensors failed within days.

Check the supplier's return policy before purchase. Some suppliers offer 30-day return policies. Ensure you have the option to return the sensor if it does not fit your vehicle.

The most common cause of MAF sensor failure is contamination of the sensing element by dirt and moisture. Ensure your air filter is replaced at recommended intervals to prevent premature sensor failure. Also check that the intake system is properly sealed to prevent unfiltered air from entering.
