Circuit Description

The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is an integral part of the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. The IAT sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the intake air. The powertrain control module (PCM) 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:

Temperature	IAT Resistance	IAT Signal Voltage
Cold	High	High
Warm	Low	Low

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine idling for 1 minute, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0110,  P0112 and P0113 should not set.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground G104.

⇒	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 PCM.

3. Ignition ON, verify that the IAT sensor parameter is at -40°C (-40°F).

⇒	If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the IAT sensor parameter is greater than 139°C (280°F).

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the IAT sensor.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.

Important: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.

2. Test the IAT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with 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 IAT sensor.
