Cleaning MAF sensor 2000 S70 NA

Hello, I have a S70 2000 NA with 145,000 miles on it. I was attempting to clean the MAF sensor today after changing my air filter. I had watched a couple youtube videos and posts in the forum about how to do so, but I ran into a problem. What I found under my hood looks nothing like what I have seen on here. Mine looks more like a fan with no screen, while what I was referencing has a screen and you can see the sensor behind it. I have a attached a picture of what I am talking about, my question is how do I clean this with MAF cleaner? There is a tiny little nub looking thing, but does not look like sensor wires, so I didnt want to just start spraying it.

Thanks to anyone that can help

Alright so after some more searching around I found that that is a air flow meter, not a sensor, is that correct?

does this mean there isn't a MAF? Or I just over looked it

Exact same thing. Your car has a DENSO system that is different from the older models with their Bosch sensors, so the MAF is different.

Spray the fluid on in there and let it do its job. The element is on the part that the plug fits into.
