New Member with a couple of questions.

Picked up a 2012 3.8 Sedan on Friday and have a couple of quick questions. The drivers side mirror Led turn signal indicator does not illuminate in turn or hazard mode. It does, however, come on with the key fob lock and unlock press. All other turn signals are working... what gives?
I'm also looking for the MAF sensor for the purpose of giving it a quick clean since I have 70,791 on the OD and I'm guessing it hasn't been cleaned yet. Where the heck is it on the 3.8 Lambda 2 GDI?

I would just get some mass air flow sensor cleaner and spray it off. My can has lasted me 5 cars!
The mechanic's manual says "B" is your MAF sensor in the diagram below.

Thanks Jabald but that's not the air cleaner assembly for the direct injection engine.
I have this one and it doesn't have a MAF where one would normally be located.
I'm beginning to think they didn't use one or it is incorporated into the throttle body.

I realized that the 2012 was a gdi after I already posted... Whoops! Just edited it and found where it was in the 2012 3.8 gdi manual.

Negative. I pulled that sensor out and it is part # 39300-3C300 which is a MAP not a MAF sensor.
Thanks for looking it up though. Maybe they don't use a MAF sensor on the GDI engines?

Huh. Must be a typo in the manual! That's all I had to work with!

It's very possible it doesnt have a MAF, I know the GDI 5.0's dont use a MAF

 

[Ozy44]

Yep. I read through some forums last night and determined it does not use one. Thanks
