Re: 2002 nissan maxima MAF help.
To answer your question-YES...there is probably an update needed for your specific MAF and computer/programming.
Perform TSB NTB03-023. The Engine Control Module (ECM) will need to be reprogrammed after replacing the MAF sensor and air filter element.
Your MAF should be at 2.0 to 6.0 grams at warm idle and 7.0 to 20.0 grams at 2500 RPM no load.
