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 running. |
• | 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. |

⇒ | 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 tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests 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 |
