DTC P0110 Intake Air Temperature Circuit Malfunction

DTC P0112 Intake Air Temperature Circuit Low Input

DTC P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input

​

DESCRIPTION

1. The intake air temperature sensor, in the mass air flow meter sub-assembly, monitors the intake air temperature. The intake air temperature sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the intake air temperature becomes low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes (see Fig. 1).
   
2. The intake air temperature sensor is powered by a 5 V supply from the THA terminal of the ECM, via resistor R which is located inside the ECM.
   
3. Resistor R and the intake air temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the intake air temperature sensor changes, the voltage at terminal THA varies accordingly. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume when the engine is cold to improve driveability.
   

   HINT:

   When any of DTCs P0110, P0112 or P0113 are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the intake air temperature is estimated to be 20°C (68°F) by the ECM. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

HINT:

When any of these DTCs are set, check the intake air temperature by entering the following menus on the intelligent tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Intake Air.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3. Turn the tester on.

4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Intake Air.

5. Read the value displayed on the tester.

   Standard:

   Same as actual intake air temperature.
   

   
   

   Result:

   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   Displayed temperature is -40°C (-40°F)	A
   Displayed temperature is 140°C (284°F)	B
   Same as actual intake air temperature	C

   HINT:

   1. If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
      
   1. If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 140°C (284°F).
