The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the air entering the engine. The IAT sensor has a signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT signal circuit and a ground for the IAT low reference circuit.
The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:
IAT | IAT Resistance | IAT Signal Voltage |
---|---|---|
Cold | High | High |
Warm | Low | Low |

• | The ignition is OFF for greater than 8 hours. |
• | The engine is running. |
- | The vehicle speed is less than 2 km/h (1.2 mph). |
- | The throttle position (TP) sensor is less than 2 percent. |
- | The engine is running at idle. |
- | The above conditions are met for more than 60 seconds. |
- | The vehicle speed is more than 40 km/h (25 mph). |
- | The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is more than 15 g/s. |
- | The engine is running at a cruise. |
- | The above conditions are met for more than 300 seconds. |
- | The calculated engine airflow is greater than 15 g/s. |
- | The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph). |
- | The calculated engine airflow is greater than 15 g/s. |
- | The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph). |
- | The start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) minus the start-up intake air temperature (IAT) is greater than 20°C (36°F). |
- | The start-up ECT is greater than -20°C (-4°F). |
• | The DTCs run once an ignition cycle once the above conditions are met. |
• | Cruise Test--The ECM does not detect an IAT change of greater than 3°C (5°F). |
• | Startup Test--The ECM does not detect a difference of 3°C (5°F) between the previous ignition cycle IAT and the start-up IAT of the next ignition cycle. |
• | Skew High Test--The ECM detects a 20°C (36°F) difference between the start-up IAT and the start-up ECT. |
• | Skew Low Test--The ECM detects a 20°C (36°F) difference between the start-up ECT and the start-up IAT. |
DTC P0110 and P0111 are Type B DTCs.
DTC P0110 and P0111 are Type B DTCs.
If the vehicle has set overnight, the IAT sensor and the ECT sensor values should display within 3°C (5°F).
Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions
Control Module References for scan tool information
⇒ | If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Important: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage and the sensor may be damaged.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Important: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the IAT sensor. |
