How to clean the MAP sensor of the Toyota Aygo

Model: Toyota Aygo Ab40, MK 2 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

In this video we will see how to clean the MAP sensor of the Toyota Aygo: this same engine is used on several small cars, so the same procedure is valid for the Peugeot 107, Citroen C1 and Toyota Yaris. It is advisable to change the MAP sensor every time we change the engine air filter, for which we must still remove the airbox. The readings of the MAP sensor are used to calculate the airflow. We will need a 10 mm socket mounted on a ratchet; we will have to remove the two screws on the side, being careful to unscrew the right ones, as it is very easy to make a mistake with the two larger ones on the side. Let's swing it and remove it, pulling out the connector. If we do proper maintenance, however, the sensor should be clean enough. Otherwise, clean it with a carburetor or brake cleaner and then let it dry thoroughly; then just put everything back in place following the opposite direction.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
