AdvanEX Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) for Chevrolet & Buick 1.4L/1.8L — OE 0280218419 Direct-Fit, Laser-Trimmed

AdvanEX Mass Air Flow Sensor Meter replaces OE 0280218419 to restore accurate airflow readings for select Chevrolet and Buick 1.4L/1.8L engines.

This AdvanEX MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for vehicles using OE part number 0280218419—specifically many Chevrolet Cruze, Sonic, Trax, Cruze Limited models and Buick Encore and Verano with naturally aspirated 1.4L and 1.8L engines. Built to OE-like standards with a laser-trimmed digital circuit board and high-temperature molded PBT housing, the unit measures intake air volume and sends that data to the vehicle’s engine control module to support proper fuel delivery and engine operation. Before installation, confirm your vehicle’s original part number and clean the airbox and air filter to avoid persistent check-engine codes.

Which vehicles does this AdvanEX MAF sensor fit?

This sensor is compatible with several GM models that use OE part 0280218419. It fits naturally aspirated 1.4L and 1.8L engines across specified model years—verify fitment against your vehicle’s original part number prior to purchase.

• 2013–2015 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4L and 1.8L
• 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited 1.4L and 1.8L
• 2016–2017 Chevrolet Sonic 1.4L/1.8L and Trax 1.4L
• 2016–2017 Buick Encore 1.4L and 2017 Buick Verano

How does this replacement MAF improve engine performance?

By delivering precise airflow measurements to the engine control unit, the MAF helps the vehicle calculate the correct fuel-to-air ratio. Accurate readings can reduce rough idling, hesitation, and inefficient fuel trims that occur when the original sensor is failing. Note that cleaning the airbox and replacing the air filter before installation can prevent lingering fault codes.

• Laser-trimmed digital board for consistent airflow sensing
• Low inlet resistance promotes accurate flow detection
• High-temperature molded PBT housing resists heat and vibration
• Plug-and-play fit when matching OE number 0280218419

What should I check before installing this AdvanEX MAF sensor?

Confirm the OE part number on your original MAF is 0280218419 and that your vehicle is not a turbocharged version, as this unit is not for turbos. Clean the airbox and replace the air filter before installing the new sensor to avoid false codes or immediate recontamination. If a check-engine light persists after replacement, recheck connectors and wiring for damage.

• Verify original part number equals 0280218419
• Not compatible with turbocharged engine variants
• Replace air filter and clean the airbox before fitting
• Inspect wiring harness and connector for corrosion or breaks
