AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45

If anything found replace air hose.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Align marks. Attach each joint. Screw clamps firmly.

To position air cleaner case, refer to EM-18, "Changing Air Cleaner Filter" .
Changing Air Cleaner FilterNBS003G4
INSPECTION
Check status (fouling, damage, etc.) of air cleaner filter at power duct
hole.
REMOVAL
Removal in the order below.
1. Remove air duct (inlet) from air cleaner case.
2. Disconnect harness connector from mass air flow sensor.
3. Loosen clamp bolts of air hose.
4. Remove mounting bolts for air cleaner case. Remove air cleaner case/mass air flow sensor/air hose assembly.
5. Unhook clips and open air cleaner case, and remove air cleaner filter.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

If grommet at bottom of air cleaner case comes off together with
air cleaner case, fix it to vehicle before installation.

Look at internal bottom face through power duct hole, and posi-
tion air cleaner case with resonator upper end circle and air
cleaner case round hole aligned. Then push air cleaner case
straight down.

At this time, check by hand if protrusion at bottom of air cleaner
case has been inserted into grommet on vehicle side.

Clip power duct with bulge on reverse side of lower end
engaged with air cleaner case.

Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 and Heated Oxygen Sensor 2
CAUTION:

Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor 1 and new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using heated oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool (Commercial Service Tool: J-43897-
18 or J-43897-12) and apply anti-seize lubricant.

Do not over torque air fuel ratio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause dam-
age to air fuel ratio sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
