I learned from information on this forum that a little fan called an aspirator draws air through the vent of this sensor. And with the air, of course, comes dirt.
You may want to test the function of the aspirator too. After you clean the sensor, and with the car running, take a small piece of paper just big enough to cover the opening of the sensor. If the aspirator is functioning properly, the air flow will hold the paper in place. If the paper falls you have an ill aspirator.
The location of the aspirator varies with the chassis model. But in most cases it is located just behind the glovebox liner. I have seen one mounted on the passenger knee bolster too.
The aspirator, if not burned out, will have dust build up inside. A few taps may solve the "slow" air flow if that be the case.
