Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
IAT Sensor Signal | P0095 03, P0097 | P0095 07, P0098 | P0095 07, P0098* | P0110 |
Low Reference | -- | P0095 07, P0098 | P0095 07, P0098* | P0110 |
* Internal ECM or sensor damage may occur if the circuit is shorted to B+ |
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor 2 is an integral part of the turbocharger pressure sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the intake air. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the IAT signal circuit and supplies a ground to the 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 ON, or the engine is operating. |
• | The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met. |
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor 2 is less than 160 mV for greater than 0.5 seconds.
The ECM detects that the IAT sensor 2 parameter is greater than 4.9 volts for greater than 0.5 seconds.
DTCs P0095, P0097, and P0098 are Type B DTCs.
DTCs P0095, P0097, and P0098 are Type B DTCs.
• | If the engine has sat overnight, the IAT sensor and the ECT sensor values should display within 3°C (5°F). |
• | High resistance on either the IAT sensor signal circuit or the IAT sensor low reference circuit could set a DTC. |
Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions
Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. DTCs P0095, P0097, or P0098 should not set.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance, or for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the engine control module (ECM). |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open or a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM. |
Measure and record the resistance between the IAT signal circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 4 at various ambient temperatures. Compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance table and verify that the resistance is within 5 percent of the specification.
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the turbocharger pressure sensor |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
